About

CLUB S’AKOÚO is a female-founded, independently owned music supervision and consulting agency based in New York City. We partner with creatives, brands, and storytellers to merge striking visuals with unforgettable music. With over a decade of experience we bring both expertise and passion to every project.

S’akoúo (sa-koo'-o), comes from the Greek phrase meaning I’m listening, I hear you, I understand you — a guiding principle that shapes everything we do. And while a “club” usually conjures images of loud, crowded energy, our identity speaks to the opposite: our ability to cut through the noise and focus on what matters.

Listening with care and intention is the heart of our practice. It guides how we collaborate with clients, how we communicate with rights holders, and how we tune in to find the perfect song every time. The belief is simple: when music is chosen with care it does more than accompany a story — it brings it to life.

Joanna Batemits is an award-winning Music Supervisor and Executive Producer with more than 13 years of experience across entertainment and advertising. Before founding CLUB S’AKOÚO in 2024, she led the music department at boutique agency Carousel working on global campaigns for major brands (Pepsi, Lays, TJ Maxx, Calvin Klein, Neutrogena, Grubhub, and more.). Prior to that, she worked within leading music companies, representing artists, writers, and producers driving synch opportunities across film, television, and brand campaigns.

Joanna pairs her discerning ears with imaginative instincts and sharp business acumen. And yet, her greatest strength is her capacity to listen and connect - both on a human level and a visual one. Over the years, she has honed her skills in music supervision, copyright clearance, licensing, original music production, talent negotiations, and strategy all while building an impressive portfolio.

She currently oversees music for Victoria’s Secret’s global advertising, securing thousands of songs across campaigns, social strategy, and events. Her recent work earned a Clio Award in Music Marketing for Ticketmaster’s “Music Finds You” — a cross-platform collaboration with TikTok, Shazam, and Snapchat — in which she led talent and music acquisition for multiple artists, including Meghan Trainor.

As a member of the Guild of Music Supervisors, Joanna is a familiar face on stages at conferences, festivals, and award shows. She’s regularly invited to speak, judge, teach, mentor, and share her expertise with the next generation of creatives.
