UK audio imaging professional Sam Wickens, Audio Production Assistant for Capital FM in London, captured the title of World’s Best Imager on Friday, May 4, 2018, winning the 7th Annual Iron Imager competition at the Worldwide Radio Summit held at the W Hollywood Hotel. Wickens, 26, took on 2017 Iron Imager Champion Brad Leask, 24, Network Imaging Producer, NOVA Entertainment, Sydney, Australia, in the head-to-head live audio imaging competition presented annually by Benztown.
The Iron Imager finalists used hand-picked elements from several of Benztown’s 23 production libraries and an original script created by the Benztown team to create their promo in just 60 minutes.
Wickens said: “To be the winner of such an incredible competition is an unbelievable feeling and one that will take some time to sink in. Thank you so much Benztown for this opportunity! The team at Capital is just as much a part of this win as I am. They made me into the producer I am and taught me everything I know about imaging. Hopefully I’ll be able to defend my title next year or lose it to one of my peers at Capital.”
