Welcome to the Winter S2Blue Newsletter
New imaging packages
 






Happy New Year and welcome to the first S2blue newsletter of 2006 and have we got loads to tell you. 2005 was a very busy year for us, we produced tons of new custom imaging packages plus more radio and tv commercials than ever before and 2006 looks like it's going to be even better!

New look S2blue.com

You may have noticed that at the end of last year S2blue.com had a bit of a redesign. We've tried to bring it up to date, incorporating more information than ever before, whilst improving the overall navigation and look of the site.

We've added sections with information about how S2blue was formed, information on our studio and office facilities, a new client area with links to MyS2blue.com & the ability to pay via PayPal. Plus loads of new Sneak Peak videos, pictures and demos. If you've not seen it yet have a look »

Richard Bacon's Go home show on Capital FM
As we mentioned in the last newsletter S2blue provided the new jingles for Capital FM's new Go Home Show with Richard Bacon. Well you can now listen to the demo on-line, the package consists of re-sings of classic PAMS jingles, which are exclusively available in the UK and Eire through S2blue. Click here to listen now

The Expansion is complete
At the end of last year Studio 3 & 4 were finally completed – giving us 3 fulltime SADIE studios, as well a post production, voicing facility and additional office space.
The additional studios have increased our capacity and ability to deal with large quantities of production work.

New members to the S2Blue Family
We have a few new members of the S2blue Family, Sarah and Caz. Sarah will be based in the main office and will be helping out with enquires, PRS returns and assisting Simon with Marketing. Caz is an experienced and accomplished script writer, having produced campaigns all over the UK

Com Prod News
As we've already mentioned Studio 3 & 4 we're recently completed – these Studios are going to be used mainly for commercial production. S2blue currently work for a number of stations in the UK and Europe, producing creative commercials, specific to the relevant market.

As we've mentioned we produced loads of new custom imaging packages in 2005 including all 6 stations in the Lincs FM Group, Lite & Connect FM, Manx Radio, BBC Humberside, BBC Nottingham and BBC Cumbria.
We've updated the website with information, Sneak Peak videos and pictures of recent sessions. Check it out by clicking here

NEW Lincs FM Group custom imaging package

We've just completed a new custom package for all 6 stations in the Lincs FM Group – the package pulls together solo and group UK vocals with contemporary tracks to create imaging to fit in with each station in the group.

The BBC Philharmonic play on S2blue imaging package
We recently left our studios at Overton Bank House and went, music in hand, to the Studio 7 at BBC Broadcasting House in Manchester to record the World famous BBC Philharmonic as part of the custom imaging packages we produced last year for the BBC.

It was the first time that the BBC Philharmonic had played on a jingle package, although very stressful for all involved the result was amazing and it's given a really ‘big' sound to the packages. Click here to read the press release

We've added loads of information, pictures and an extended Sneak Peak video of the session to the web site – check it out by clicking here


As well as all the new custom packages we've also resung existing packages including The Eye and Manx Radio's Carnaby Street Show. Click here to hear the remixed packages and see the Carnaby Street Sneak Peak video

Sneak Peak Videos
The Sneak Peak videos have been a massive success so we've added a load more – including the BBC Philharmonic session plus vocal sessions for the Lincs FM Group, BBC Nottingham, BBC Humberside and Manx Radio's Carnaby Street show. Point and click here to see them all

New Show reels on the way
2006 will see a number of new show reels from S2blue. We're working on a new imaging CD, an S2blue creative Com Prod show reel, as well as a new Steve England ID CD.
