about the jury
Ashley Benton is an Executive Producer at Barking Owl, a music and sound company dedicated to storytelling and collaboration. Over the past decade, she has grown alongside the company, playing a key role in shaping its creative identity – most recently by launching and leading Barking Owl’s New York studio, now a well-established presence on the East Coast.
Her work spans high-profile campaigns including several Super Bowl spots and Emmy-nominated Meta Skate Ghana. She’s especially passionate about projects with purpose, having produced sounds for LFG, the documentary chronicling the US Women’s National Soccer Team’s fight for equal pay, and Corazón, Barking Owl’s first feature-length film that raised awareness around organ donation.
Outside the studio, Ashley channels her love for music into a DJ series that supports non-profits, blending sound, community, and impact in equal measure.
