Welcome to the S2blue Spring 2006 newsletter. You can tell its spring, the daffodils are out, it's light in the morning and they're talking about hose pipe bans already!

S2blue Creative & JingleWorld
We're pleased to announce that we're launching 2 new brands – S2blue Creative & JingleWorld. All commercial production will now come under the name S2blue Creative and commercial jingles under JingleWorld.

Both S2blue Creative and JingleWorld get new sections of S2blue.com, see below for details.


New sections to S2blue.com
As we mentioned in the last newsletter we've recently redesigned S2blue.com - well we've not stopped there, we've added 3 new sections: S2blue Creative, Creative Consultancy & JingleWorld.

In the S2blue Creative section you'll find demos and information on our commercial production services, plus details of the benefits of going with S2blue Creative for your commercial production.

Creative Consultancy is a new service we are offering. Pulling on our years of commercial production experience the package includes a training seminar by Steve and Barbara for sales execs and stations. Find out more on the website

The JingleWorld section of the site has all the information on our commercial jingle services, including demos and details of our free demo service.

S2blue Creative news
The beginning of the year has been really busy for S2blue Creative – we've produced more local and national commercials than ever before, including working on national campaigns for Superdrug, Butlins and Cartridge World.

We've also put together a new commercials demo, which is now available online on the S2blue Creative section of our web-site along with information on our commercial production services.

Whether on a bespoke or contract basis S2blue Creative offers a complete, cost effective and reliable solution to your commercial production needs. If you're interested in finding out more call or email Simon.

Read all about Sarah
As we mentioned in the last newsletter there are a few new members of the S2blue Family, well we've managed to tie Sarah down and get her to answer the famous S2blue Family questionnaire – want to know why she's the Dog's, click here!

S2blue Family full of spirit
Our Christmas 'do' was a bit late this year (actually in mid January) but that didn't stop us getting into the Christmas spirit – check out the pics by clicking here

Free commercial jingle demos from JingleWorld
Did you know we offer free, no obligation demos of commercial jingles for serious potential clients? Plus our weekly vocal sessions mean we can usually turn something around quickly. Want to find out more – call or e-mail us

We have now added the Manx Radio imaging package demo to the imaging section of S2blue.com. The custom package was produced for the Isle of Man's Manx Radio last year to link in with the relaunch of the station under the 'Sound of your life' theme.

The package fuses solo and group vocals with bright, contemporary tracks. Click here to listen to the demo.

We also provided Manx Radio with a selection of resings of classic PAMS jingles for their 'Carnaby Street' show – the Sneak Peak video & demo are also online.

Lite FM & Connect FM imaging demo now available

Click on the imaging section S2blue.com and you'll find we've also added a demo of the full imaging package we produced for Forward Media's Lite FM & Connect FM last year.

The group custom package was produced to reflect the unique Lite FM & Connect FM brands, bringing together smooth vocals and overall upbeat sound. Click here to listen to the demo.

See You Soon

Some of the S2blue family are making the trip to VOX (the commercial production industry's annual booze up – sorry conference) soon. Plus Steve and Simon are going to the North West Radio night on 5 May at the Sports Café in Manchester . So if you're going, come over and say Hi!

Image Plus/Business Booster offers

Did you know we can also offer very good rates for Image Plus/Business Booster campaigns and have the ability to turn around a large amount of commercials in a short period of time, including scripting and client contact if required. E-mail us for more information

JingleWorld news

JingleWorld is the commercial jingle arm of S2blue and has it been an extremely busy few months - our weekly vocal sessions have been packed.

There has been a record number of custom tracks added to the JingleWorld over the last few months, to hear the 'Update' demo go to the JingleWorld section where you'll also find our full demo and information on JingleWorld.

See if you can get the best time - just make sure you don't hit the fences at the side (Simon did – hope he's better in real snow!)
 

Coming up
In the next few months we should complete some new custom imaging packages, have a couple of new show reel CD's, brand new demos plus Sneak Peak videos of upcoming BBC packages that we're producing. So remember to keep checking the websites for new information, Sneak Peak videos, pics and demos going up in the near future.
