Скачать или смотреть Shawn Amos at TEDxEast

Shawn Amos has been a trusted tastemaker, content creator, and custodian of pop culture for the past decade.
Prior to becoming CEO of Freshwire (formerly Amos Content Group), Shawn was Senior Vice President of Content at GetBack Media and was Vice President of A&R at Shout! Factory, where he developed and oversaw the label's entire audio, live concert DVD, and comedy DVD release schedule, working with dozens of heritage artists ranging from pop icons William Shatner and the Bangles to Grammy legends Herb Alpert and Solomon Burke. Shawn also released his own album, "Thank You Shirl-ee May," on the Shout! Factory label.
During this time, Amos worked with Shout!'s ownership to create a digital strategy that led to the formation of the standalone digital media company, GetBack. Aside from steering GetBack's popular content, Amos served as the face of the company, hosting its flagship video program "Retro Minute," which received 230 million impressions monthly via out-of-home screens at Wal-Mart checkout, supermarket checkout, gas stations, coffeehouses, and bookstores.
Prior to this, as an A&R executive at Rhino Entertainment, Shawn steered editorial content for the reissue label's deluxe anthologies and box sets, hiring award-winning entertainment critics, essayists, and authors. He then went on to produce single and "various artists" collections from such heritage musical acts as INXS, The Sugarhill Gang and Quincy Jones (for whom Amos later ran the Quincy Jones Listen Up Foundation).
Shawn is the son of Wally Amos, founder of the Famous Amos brand and the first African-American talent agent for the William Morris Agency. Growing up in the colorful Hollywood landscape inspired Shawn to pursue a career in film (he attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts), then music and digital media. He has also written a book, a memoir titled "Cookies & Milk: Scenes From a '70s Hollywood Childhood."
Shawn currently sits on the Board of Trustees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Board of Directors for Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. He digs doughnuts and moonlights as blues singer.
