True Top Producers of the Year

Correction: The first version of this posting only attributed two Top 50 hits to Concepts TV. When the change was made, the firm's ranking improved to No. 4.

According to my True Top 50 of 2010, here are the true top producers of the year (in order):

  1. Blue Moon Studios. For the second year in a row, Fred Vanore's firm tops the list with no less than seven True Top 50 hits. They are: Yoshi Blade, Wonder File, Prayer Cross, Finishing Touch Jewel, MicroForce Max, Bark Off and Topsy Turvy.

  2. Hutton-Miller. John Miller & Peter Hutton's creative crew rise from No. 3 to No. 2 this year with four True Top 50 hits, including the No. 1 hit of the year -- iRenew. The others are: Mister Steamy, Mighty Fixit and Page Brite.

  3. Adcomm. One of the most liked and most experienced people in the business, Don Braca (and his talented team) shone in 2010 with three True Top 50 hits: the Sobakawa Pillow, Potty Patch and Crazy Critters.

  4. Concepts TV. Collette Liantonio and the lovely ladies (and, uh, guys) at Concepts also delivered three Top 50 hits in 2010. They proved me wrong with both Perfect Fit Button and Total Pillow, and did so well with Pajama Jeans it made No. 34 despite launching at the end of the year.

  5. Sullivan Productions. Sully, Arwen, Carla and the crew had two items in the Top 25 this time around: Heel Tastic and Jupiter Jack.

Congratulations to you all!
