Life changes and, eventually, an era will end. With bittersweet emotion I must announce that Broadcast My Brand will no longer be in the jingle business.
I've been blessed to be involved since writing my first jingle at the WAWK On Air Studio in 1989.
Heartfelt thanks to Chuck Surack of Sweetwater Studios for allowing me to spend many years of my career at one of most exciting music endeavors on the planet.
Thanks to all my jingle partners over the years; Chet Chambers, Larry Pester, Jerome Roberson, early on.
Special thanks to Nathan Heironimus, and Dan Ankney. We did some great and really fun work together. I love you both!
And to Chris Liepe, my brother and great friend, you have exceeded everyone's expectations. We had a great run at Sweetwater and then with Broadcast my Brand. Between you, me, Dan, and Nathan, we have had enough airplay across the country to be on the Billboard Hot 100, if our songs were released as singles. God has a plan and were not done. I believe He will orchestrate a new and great way to use each of us, and don't be surprised that our paths cross in it.
Thanks to all who have trusted us to create powerful branding music for them. I can't remember you all, but some stick out. Russ Kaspar at Kaspar Broadcasting, Sinclair Television (CBS, ABC, NBC, CW, and Fox affiliates), Kevin Koster at Skopos Advertising, Ad Lab in Fort Wayne, along with BIG Advertising. ABC 21, CBS 15, NBC 33, WLKI - Swick Broadcasting. You have blessed this old man.
But 68 years old and a new season in life has arrived. I am now in full time ministry with Inspiration Ministries INC, where I've been for about 2 years. God answered my prayers and gave me this opportunity. I desire to put all my focus in helping men and women and restoring godly, Spirit led communities that have hope and peace and express the love of Christ.
He has blessed me with a group of brothers and a sister in a worship and praise band, with opportunity to give Him glory through us, and in some prophetic songs He has allowed us to write
This is an exciting time of life for me and my lifetime girl, my wife Karen Jetmore Kidd. We get to do this, babe!
My encouragement to you all is to give your life over to Jesus, give him the wheel and the driver's seat, and let Him take you where He wants to go and use you to make Kingdom difference. God bless you!
