Lisa Mehling To Serve As 2017 AICP Show Chairperson NEW YORK, January 30, 2017 Matt Miller, President and CEO of the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) announced today that Lisa Mehling, Owner/Executive Producer of Chelsea, will serve as Chairperson of the 2017 AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the American Commercial. The AICP Show is one of the tent-pole events of AICP Week, which also includes the debut of the AICP Next Awards, as well as various creative and educational sessions at the AICP Week Base Camp. AICP Week will take place in New York from June 5, 2017 June 7, 2017. Entries are now being accepted at: http://www.awardcore.com/aicp/login.php.
After years of participating in the AICP Show as a judge, Curator, and Show Committee Member, I am honored to be chairing the Show in 2017, noted Mehling. Since it began in 1992, the AICP Show has been the industry standard for honoring craft and creativity, as well as being an archive of such amazing and groundbreaking advertising content.
Lisa's love of advertising, instincts for representing talent, and role as a well-respected member of the community makes her an obvious choice to Chair the 2017 AICP Show said Miller. Under Lisa's leadership, Chelsea has won numerous accolades, including a number of high profile pieces that are in the AICP Awards archive. Among those ads are the blockbuster #LikeAGirl for Always and Chrysler's Halftime in America.
Mehling is an Emmy Award-winning producer who partnered with Allison Amon to acquire Chelsea in 2001. Together, they have cultivated a unique and diverse culture of producers and filmmakers who have become leaders across broadcast, digital, film, branded entertainment and print. Chelsea's list of celebrated work includes the paradigm shifting campaigns for Always #LikeAGirl directed by Lauren Greenfield for Leo Burnett, which in addition to being honored in the AICP Show and the AICP Next Awards, has amassed 200+ million views, 4 billion impressions, over 200 awards and the Emmy for Outstanding Commercial. Other notable credits include: Listen, for the NFL directed by Nadav Kander; Halftime in America, featuring Clint Eastwood, directed by David Gordon Green for Wieden & Kennedy, Audi The Heist, for McKinney & Silver and ESPN Sega Beta-7, for Wieden & Kennedy, both directed by Haxan.
