I am looking for the best companies in the U.S. to write jingles.
I am defining a jingle as a phone number and ad pitch set to music,
which sticks in peoples heads after repeated exposure.
If you?ve ever seen the ads on WGN for Empire Carpet (?588-2300 ?
Empire"), you?ll know what I?m talking about. See also:

I have found some firms through Google searches, and personal
contacts. I?m looking for a qualified answer ? based on firsthand
knowledge of a firm?s track record ? not just a list of companies.
A good answer to my question will contain names of at least 5 firms or
independent contractors that specialize in writing jingles and
mnemonics, with contact info and examples of clients. |

Marketingguy72-ga,
I'm not aware of any Google Researchers who have firsthand knowledge
of the jingle-writing industry. Nevertheless, we may be able to find
you the top jingle-writers in the business based on their coverage in
magazine stories, TV shows, etc.
If you'd like us to try, please let us know. If you absolutely must
have an answer "based on firsthand knowledge", then there's a
possibility you may not get a response at all.
Let us know what you think.

Given the prowess of Google Researchers, your suggested approach may
unearth the best I can do based on third party sources. That will
provide valuable ideas along with any firsthand recommendations I get.
So yes, if there is no one in the community with firsthand knowledge,
just go for it.

Hello marketingguy72 -
Would jingle companies that have high profile clients be sufficient?
I would think this would implicitly speak of their performance level
as well.
Thanks,

What I'm referring to is, if a jingle production house has high
profile companies listed as their clientele -- would this be
sufficient?

I have found a number of high end jingle companies with very high
profile, national clients. If you would like me to post these as an
answer to your question, please let me know.
Thank you,

If nothing else, it's a fun site to just listen to the different
jingles. Let us know if this seems on target for what you need, and I
(or one of the researchers here) will do our best to get an answer for
you.
Cheers,

jbf777 - sounds like you're a bit stuck? I wouldn't have made this a
$100 question if I thought it was a quick Google query, which I'm
capable of doing myself.
A list of jingle companies with high profile clients and a proven
track record of driving direct response via phone would be fine.
However, I do not consider the regional company posted by pafalafa-ga
(grayskymusic.com) to fit that bill based on their client list,
although they are a "jingle company" along the lines of what I'm
looking for. That being said, a Google researcher may find a smaller
firm that has done good work for reputable clients - I'm not looking
for the most expensive firms, just the best.
jbf777 - if you can give me a better idea of what qualifies as a "very
high profile, national client" that would help me as well.

Not stuck at all.
These companies write jingles for national spots for the biggest
corporations in the world. You don't do business on that level unless
you're the best. Let me know if you're interested in these companies,
and I'll post it as an answer.
