  • Discuss what you're after with Gareth...we'll get you to fill in a creative brief and work out the right feel for the jingle.
  • If you need a campaign covering tv, radio and digital, we'll connect you with the right network or agency to design a creative campaign for you.
Are you a creative writer with lyrics ready to go? 
  • If you and the client have decided the lyrics and the feel for the jingle, Gareth will write the music, source the right talent and direct them to get the best possible sound.
  • We'll email you the finished jingle with a selection of options for your campaign.
  • We guarantee a four week turnaround, but Gareth is fast.. we'll likely get it done far quicker than that.
