AECG is a community of companies founded in 1991 by CEO Alan Ett, which has been focused on the establishment of strong relationships in the production community as a provider of a wide range of services and products.
The success and reputation of each individual company has created the opportunity for the development of new divisions to offer new services, and thereby create new revenue streams. The concept for the growth of AECG is based upon the synergistic leverage of its companies to offer an ever-widening array of extraordinary products and services to the constantly evolving media landscape.
The future of our companies is brilliant as we portray the new model of the all-encompassing studio. We are nimble enough to react to constant change and we aggressively pursue the establishment of strategic alliances with the best of the best in allied industries. We promote from within and we passionately believe in nurturing talent. We are committed to the growth not only of our companies, but also of the individuals who make up these companies.
With a strong entrepreneurial sensibility based on sound business practices, we believe that AECG is poised to be a major creative force well into the future.
AECG Internship Program
AECG proudly supports a vibrant accredited internship
program for college and university students. We provide
students from around the world with an exclusive opportunity
to extend their education in the fields of music production
and composing, music supervision, music licensing and
publishing, and audio post-production for TV, film, and
commercials. When students spend a semester at AECG, they
leave with a newfound wealth of knowledge after experiencing
firsthand the daily operations of a world-class
entertainment operation located in the heart of the
industry's homeland.
For music business majors, composers, and others wanting to
gain insight into music production and publishing we offer
internships with Spirit Music Collective and Spirit Production Music. These companies together provide a broad range of
essential music services. We create, supervise, and license
music for TV programs broadcast on major networks and cable,
as well as independent films and national theatrical
releases. We also license music for commercial spots and
emerging new media platforms such as smartphone apps,
webisodes and electronic games.

the importance of world-class service while also giving them
hands-on technical training and the opportunities they need
to broaden their horizons and enrich their education.
