In 1986 we opened our studios in Waterman Canyon in the Hills above San Bernardino, California. We started modestly, as an advertising “jingle” production house. In a short period of time, our business was producing jingles for many local companies and advertising agencies. As a result of requests from clients, we added another service - writing and producing complete ads, including all copywriting and the recruitment of talent for voice-overs.
By the late 80’s, another opportunity allowed our agency to explore a new avenue of advertising - Television. The advent of Cable TV allowed us to expand our client services. In fact we were the first local agency to take advantage of this medium. We are proud to say that we aired, perhaps, the first agency produced Cable TV in the Inland Area. In the early 90’s we added complete print production capabilities. We also became one of the largest billboard brokers in Southern California.
All of our ads are produced on the most up-to-date equipment. All radio production is recorded and edited digitally. All television production is shot in Digital, 24p, and Beta-Cam SP format (the same used in many TV Sitcoms) All post-production and editing is digital. This allows our clients to enjoy clean, sparkling advertising that competes favorably with production from the big L. A. production houses.
Unlike L. A. production houses and agencies, our work is very affordable. We understand the budget constraints facing regional advertisers.
We have produced over five hundred ads. We have a wide spread reputation for producing very innovative radio advertising. Our television production has won awards in the Inland Empire Ad Club
We have more than twenty years of media buying experience. Our long-term relationship with the local media gives us a tremendous bargaining edge over out-of-town agencies, and many local agencies as well. We are also experienced in buying Los Angeles media.
We are the local agency with the most experience in producing and placing Cable TV ads.
We have been producing print advertising for more than twenty years. We have extensive in-house capability.
We have excellent relationships with printers should you need assistance in this area. Bottom line, we are prepared to work with your graphics department in any capacity required.

RADIO
Since we are commissioned by the radio stations when we place a radio buy, we absorb a certain amount of the production costs. Generally we charge $175 for a sixty second spot and $135 for a thirty second spot. This includes all production and one voice. Each voice thereafter is charged at a rate of $80 per, unless a celebrity or a contract talent (Union) is employed. Then such person is paid on his or her going rate.
