It’s been a busy few months, on the imaging side we’ve been producing custom & syndicated packages for stations in the UK and around Europe while S2blueCreative, the commercial production arm of S2blue, has been hectic with the usual pre-Christmas rush, as well as working on a number of Image+ & Brand Builder campaigns for some of our UK clients.

We also produced some top up imaging for BBC Radio Oxford, to fit in along side the successful full package we had produced previously. The new cuts reflect musical styles of the last 40 years & come in 3 parts with detachable tops & tails as well as a loopable bed in the middle.

The last few weeks has also seen the vocal session for the custom Lakeland Radio package. The imaging has a fresh feel with cool tracks & a mixture of solo and group vocals. Check out a Sneak Peak video of the vocal session by clicking here or go to S2blue.com

We’ve also produced some JAM resings for the new station ‘The Severn’ as well The Wyre & Telford FM recently and in the next few weeks we’ll be sending out a new JAM showreel, featuring some of the latest packages to come out from JAM. Click here to make sure you receive a copy.

S2blue Creative has also been really busy writing and producing loads of commercials for stations in the UK and Europe. Recent work has included some high profile national campaigns for companies such as Superdrug & Butlins.

The new JingleWorld Vol. 1 CD will also be available in the next few weeks. The CD features 99 tracks of commercial jingles, categorised into different business sectors, which are available to be resung. Commercial jingles have been extremely popular, with many clients taking advantage of our ‘no obligation demo’ service & our weekly vocal sessions mean we can turn jobs around quickly too.

There’s also a new Steve England ID showreel, featuring packages produced by Steve for the likes of the Magic AM Group, Saga 105.7 & 106.6, Lincs FM and the Lincs FM Group. The CD showreel has been mailed out to stations in the last few weeks.

Following the new Steve England ID show reel we have reduced the price of UK resings from all the packages on Steve’s Connected CD to £100(+VAT) per cut! Included in the offer are some very popular packages produced for the likes of Key 103, the Fusion Radio group, and Hertbeat FM – check out the demos by clicking here.

To celebrate the launch of S2blueCreative, the commercial production arm of S2blue, we ran a client World Cup sweep stake.
