"Hi Joss, Just presented to the client, he's happy, I'm happy, you're happy, the pubs are open, have a good weekend..."

Dancing Bear is a company committed to good communications - communication through music, communication through words.

Specialising in original composition and copy on the back of 30 years of experience in the advertising, media and entertainment industries, Dancing Bear brings fresh ideas and high production values to your messages.

All our work is written and produced for each specific client; we do not use off the shelf solutions that only "almost" do the job or that is being used by another company elsewhere. We only use the best, most highly experienced session singers in the UK and Nashville to help give your brand that extra edge.

Please feel free to listen to our show reels and browse through the site to find out more about our services and our way of working.

A musical new year?

Christmas is over and the sales are already up and running - Now is a perfect time to think about which clients will benefit from a new Jingle this year, or even their first jingle!

With growth forecast at pretty much flat this year, clients will want their advertising to be catchy, familiar but also be a sound investment. Jingles hit the bullseye.

New Showreels for June 2011

I have just revised all the Jingle showreels to reflect a lot of changes in my library. So, there is a new June Showreel, plus I have revised the other showreels to bring them up to date - I have also changed the format.

The June Showreel remains as before - lots of short excerpts covering a whole range of styles. However, the other three showreels now have full versions of the jingles. They are split up into three groups:

A nice little collection

Not a huge update this, but I thought I would bring you some of our newest jingles to grace the airways.

We have started working more with creatives stretching along the south coast of the UK, and with any luck this will bring us lots more adventurous clients to invent for! We certainly have quite a lot of demos kicking around out there, so stay tuned to see what happens.

Beating the VAT Rise

2011 has seen VAT rise to the highest level it has ever been in the UK - we are now at the same level as most of the rest of Europe. For fairly obvious reasons, the press has gone mad over this issue, predicting everything from company closures to a double dip recession.

Refreshing the Old Website

I am not sure about anyone else, but I sometimes get tired at staring at the same old thing - probably why I avoid mirrors. The Dancing Bear website design is more than a year old, and although I am very proud of it, I am not sure it is doing what I want.
