Overhead Music
The music your clients hear while conducting business can make or break their experience!
We combine customized music backgrounds that match your demographic with messages that enhance the environment.

The music you hear while conducting business, shopping, or relaxing in a public space can make a difference between an enjoyable experience and an annoying one! We provide customized music backgrounds that match your demographic (see our Playlist) and insert messages that enhance the listener’s experience.
Custom Overhead Music is perfect for stores, offices, car dealers, and downtown districts. Festivals and events also benefit from appropriate music and messages that keep participants entertained and informed.
You pick the music and you control the message! Only your customized commercials will play, not someone else’s. Using a “free” music service seems like a good idea until you hear your competitor’s commercial in your business. We won’t let that happen, and all your music rights fees are covered.

The Playlist
Whether overhead or over the phone, in your lobby or on the street, you can mix and match music to please your target demographic.
With 60+ genres to choose from, you can select up to four channels (1,600 songs!) at a time for maximum variety! Change channels by the hour or by the day for special events and holidays.

Brand Development and Brand Building
Branding is the overall impression your business makes in the marketplace.
We’ll help you create a clear and complete brand image to maximize your message.

Branding describes how your customers view and feel about your business. Who are you? What do you do? What do you stand for?
Branding is more than “just the facts.” It includes emotional components and perceptions that come from previous exposure to your business (or to your competitors), advertising, and word of mouth. It’s your overall impression.

Brand Development helps you determine what you do well, and what makes your business unique. It identifies your competition, defines your niche in the marketplace, and clarifies a concise and precise tag line to communicate your brand to the world.

Brand Building puts your brand to work. How should you advertise? What are the best advertising channels for your particular business? We’ll help you develop a marketing plan that maximizes consistency and frequency within your budget. We’ll make sure the content of your ads supports your brand and calls customers to action!
Ultimately, branding is about clarity, and making sure you’re prepared when the phone rings!
