Barking Owl, the award-winning music, audio post-production, and sonic branding powerhouse, has signed a new representation deal with Los Angeles-based talent representation house, Bueno, covering the West Coast territory of the United States.

Bueno Partners, Millie Munro and Bryan Shrednick said, “We have long been fans of Barking Owl and when the opportunity came about to reconnect with Carol and to work with Kirkland and the rest of their team, our interest was piqued.  Their dedication to craft across all things sound, is best-in-class but beyond the work component, they are so warm, have an incredible reputation and their vision was clear. We’re thrilled to be joining them for a new chapter.” 

Carol Dunn, managing director of Barking Owl added, “In all my years of spearheading sales in advertising, I have had the most cohesive and collaborative tag team relationship with Bueno. I want more than a lead sheet; I want innovative, outside of the box thinking from my reps. Millie, Bryan and their team, not only provide both, but also an unmatched taste level to elevate that thinking beyond the numbers. They are interested in building relationships that last and carry beyond a screening. Bueno understands culture and brand identity. I’ve worked with them for 6 ½ years. We have a transparent relationship built on trust, dreams and an effective work ethic. Kirkland and I remain lock-step in ensuring Barking Owl’s legacy and its next chapter are more successful than our wildest dreams. Bringing Bueno into our fold is a deliberate choice and assurance toward that success. To be listed on their roster is an honour. To call them friends is an honour.”

The news comes on the heels of the one-year anniversary of CEO, Kirkland Alexander Lynch’s acquisition of Barking Owl. In that year, on top of working on hundreds of commercials, Barking Owl won Audio Company of the Year at the shots Awards and Sound Company of the Year at the CICLOPE Festival; worked on seven Super Bowl commercials; exclusively added Oscar and Emmy-recognized composers Dan Romer and Kris Bowers to its composer roster; changed the starting sound of the Kyiv City Marathon in Ukraine; and enlisted Stevie Wonder to help its partner, David&Goliath, spread the word of its non-partisan #SpeakYourVote campaign. 

Over the years, Barking Owl has received recognition for its work on countless commercial spots including Adidas “Gazelle,” Adidas "Remember The Why," Adidas “Samba,” Adidas “Superstar,” Apple “A Climate Change Promise,” Apple “Data Auction,” Apple “Flock,” Beats "Dark Mode," Booking.com "Somewhere, Anywhere," Gatorade "Love Means Everything," Jimmy Johns "Tony Bolognavich's Problem," Lululemon "The Selfish Giant," Meta “Amani,” Montefiore “Corazon,” Patron "Our Hands," Reebok “Storm the Court,” Upwork "This Is How We Work Now," and World Wheelchair Rugby “Here to Win.”
