NRJ - HIT JINGLES ONLY!
PURE NRJ on France's Top CHR Station This year marks the dawn of a new imaging era for the #1 Hit Music Station in France - the legendary NRJ - as they unveiled a brand new jingle package. All 26 Station ID’s have been created by PURE Jingles. NRJ France Program Director, Frédéric Pau: "Jingles have always been our strength. In the nineteen-eighties, we were the first station in France to broadcast jingles with a strong sonic logo. A few years ago, we went away from this. Now, we wanted to go back to the basics, to the values of NRJ’s radio imaging." Teamwork "We wanted the imaging we had a couple of years ago, but with a fresh sound around our three-note sonic logo. There was a real collaboration and everyday teamwork between our companies.” “The result does more than answering our expectations. We finally found back NRJ’s colors in the radio imaging and the new jingles have big impact. We want to thank the team of PURE Jingles for that. It’s an incredible job." Own sound All music tracks are inspired by the current music playlist of NRJ, from artists like Timbaland and Rihanna to Fall Out Boy. We’ve found two top female singers. They dedicate their jingle work exclusively to NRJ. This way, the station will always have its own sound. It's PURE NRJ - from PURE Jingles!

Jingles that spell P-A-R-T-Y
Top CHR station 3FM launched a new Saturday night show: Weekend DNA. "Energetic, young & fast" is how jocks Domien Verschuuren and Annemieke Schollaardt (DNA) want to their show to sound. PURE Jingles gave them the tool: an uptempo jingle package with impact. ENERGY "We want to create a pre-party before people go out. But even if you stay at home, the show gives you the perfect Saturday night feeling", Domien says. Annemieke thinks that on-air imaging is one of the essential elements to achieve this. "It creates energy between talks and reinforces bits." PURE Jingles created a package which is inspired by the hit sound of Timbaland, Rihanna, Arctic Monkeys and other core artists of 3FM. All themes are extended into multiple mix-outs including Ramps, Shotguns, RapidFires and Beds. AWESOME "A great sound", says Annemieke after hearing the final mixes. "Really awesome!", is Domiens response. "The package is exactly what we wanted, fits Weekend DNA 100% and gives you the ultimate weekend feeling." The result can be heard every Saturday night on 3FM.

New passionate PURE people
It’s amazing what you can accomplish with real passion. At PURE Jingles, we love radio and to produce jingles that sound positively different. More and more stations keep on asking us for our input, so we really needed new blood. Producer Jean-Paul van Druten plays an important part in the PURE sound of today. He worked at Dutch top stations SLAM!FM, Radio Veronica and MTV. Harmen Sipkema joined us also. He worked previously for FunX, the #1 Dutch city radio for young people. Producers Jeroen Rietbergen from the dancegroup Soulvation (known for the hit-single Reset Your Brain) and Reyn Ouwehand of the rockband Kane (you’ve probably heard of So Glad You Made It and/or Rain Down On Me) will implement their sound in our jingles. Composer/songwriter Michiel Flamman also devotes his creativity to the PURE jingle sound. We have a strong belief in giving new talent a chance to prove themselves. You may have never heard his name before, but his work can be heard on leading stations like Z100 New York, NRJ Paris and Kiss 100 London. Sebastian Schatz is one of the sound designers who has worked on our production library series, Orange Panther. Our promise to you for 2008: Hit Jingles!!! For stations that are a hit or are working on becoming one. Let's make it a great radio year together. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with real passion. At PURE Jingles, we love radio and to produce jingles that sound positively different. More and more stations keep on asking us for our input, so we really needed new blood.

Video killed the radiostar?
Be honest. If you love radio, you also love taking a peek into the 'kitchen' of other stations. PURE Jingles took a video camera and decided to meet the people who work with our jingles. We got access to the studios, filmed DJs at work, saw plenty of faders and little bleeping lights and best of all... we edited it all together for your pleasure! Just click on the logos and navigate to the client pages to see the testimonial videos. And... there is more to come, starting next year! All you radio freaks out there, make sure to check this web space on a regular basis. Because every month, we will show you a close look behind the scenes of one station that we work with.

Radio & TV identity for VRT
National public broadcaster VRT in Belgium came to us for the audio design of all their newscasts, on both radio and television. We produced a strong and recognizable sound for the news on all of their stations, based on the same sound logo. As creative partners of the VRT, we also did the complete audio imaging of their news station Radio 1 and Alternative CHR station Studio Brussel. The results don’t sound like the common jingle packages for these formats, so be sure to check them out for yourself!

The most wonderful time...
In just a few years time, the Serious Request radio event of Dutch top CHR station 3FM became very popular in the Netherlands and abroad. Every year, just before Christmas, three DJ’s of the station are locked in a sealed Glass House for one week. Without food - only juices to drink and records to play, since listeners who make a donation to a good cause, get rewarded with their favorite song. The colleagues of Studio Brussel, who joined 3FM last year with their version of the popular charity event, called Music4Life went to work a second time, as did Swiss public pop station Couleur 3. Since PURE Jingles produced the on-air elements for both 3FM and Studio Brussels we are very proud to have been part of the most successful edition of the charity event so far. The three radiostations collected a whopping 8.754.252 euros that will be used to help the Red Cross to bring clean drinking water to people in need, around the world!

RTV N-H orders total imaging
It was only a few months ago that RTV N-H, the leading broadcaster in the region of Amsterdam, asked us to re-image their news service for both radio and TV. The result can be described as the next step in news imaging. Now, they have decided to rejuvenate even further, by updating the whole sound of their radio outlet, the #1 rated full service AC station of the Amsterdam region. That’s why PURE Jingles will also renew the complete basic jingle package for the station, making their successful brand even stronger and ready for tomorrow.

RTV N-H
Out with the old... in with the new? Not necessarily! This package for leading AC station RTV N-H combines the classy sound of strings with cool sounds and beats.
That’s why we came up with a station ID package, that can be used equally well for both radio and TV. The mix of progressive sound design with classical orchestration results in News/Talk imaging with a twist. The orchestrated parts were recorded at the prestigious Wisseloord Studio's in Hilversum. The Rolling Stones, U2, The Police and 50 Cent walked though those halls of fame, too. Listen to the result on our JingleMixer page.
RTV-NH (an abbreviation of RTV Noord-Holland) is the number one Full Service AC station in the region of Amsterdam. They were looking for a way to rebrand their news, weather and traffic and the Top of the Hour sequence on radio and TV.

VRT Radio 1
The number 1 source for news in Belgian radio. When VRT Radio 1 decided to update their image, they asked us to come up with a new sound.
With a more than admirable market share of around 30% they could have easily chosen the safe way with a traditional jingle package. Instead, they dared to do something really different. News/Talk imaging has been taken to the next level.
Throughout the years, public News/Talk station Radio 1 in Belgium has become the place where listeners turn to for their updates.
The creative team got a complete production tool kit, including basic elements for program ID’s plus… audio plug-in settings for optimal voice processing. We also coached the producers of Radio 1 in copywriting skills for their on air promo spots.
The relaunch of top News/Talk station VRT Radio 1 asked for more than only a killer jingle package.

BNR Nieuwsradio
BNR Nieuwsradio focusses on a 'young professional' audience with fast news coverage and economic updates. The BNR package is bold, fresh and innovative. News/Talk imaging for stations who dare to look a bit further.
BNR was looking for a way to attract a younger, more upwardly mobile audience and now sounds like no other radio station on the dial. This package has so far been described as young, sexy and 'a gel that holds every together'. Make sure you listen for yourself at our JingleMixer page. It’s PURE BNR!
For News/Talk station BNR Nieuwsradio in the Netherlands we created a very progressive and positive package that created a buzz in the radio industry.
To make sure that the overall station sound matches the chosen format and keeps doing so, we've trained the on air staff and producers to improve the flow of programming. BNR now uses a format clock that we developed to maximize their branding. The copywriting and production of all on air promotions is taken care of by the creative staff of PURE Jingles.
After nine years, BNR Nieuwsradio in the Netherlands planned a relaunch to target a younger audience. In search for a partner who was willing to throw all the rules of news imaging over board, they came to us. The result: a progressive and positive News/Talk package that hits home with a younger audience.

FunX
Urban imaging like you've never heard before! Incorporating musical influences from India to England, from the Carribean to Marocco, this jingle package captures the essence of the European innercity youth culture.
In just five years, FunX, a progressive Urban station in the Netherlands, became the most-listened-to station by the young generation in the big cities. Their format goes from Arabic to Hip-hop and from Latin to Reggae. The challenge was to make a jingle package with all those musical styles, but still one overall sound. This is nothing like you ever heard before! So be sure to check out the one jingle package that will set the world on fire...
The world is constantly changing and so are radio trends. One of the latest is a new multi-cultural format, which has proven itself to be very popular in major European cities.
Our philosophy: if these multi-cultural influences in music are here today, they will certainly play a big part in the radio sound of tomorrow. And we want to be at the fore front of radio imaging in the years to come.
At PURE Jingles, our composers are busy pushing boundaries every day. We listen to what kids in the big cities play on their iPods and make sure we are up to date with the latest trends in music.

NRJ France
NRJ, France's #1 Hit Music Station, wanted a massive jingle package! Our composers went to work and came up with more than 20 basic cuts of PURE NRJ.
Now, the station imaging of NRJ in France has been updated. To make sure that all the cuts would cover the whole musical spectrum of NRJ’s playlist, PURE Jingles brought in the help of many of Holland’s top composers and producers. Between them, they produced a series of jingles that incorporate all of the latest music production techniques, to make the jingles blend more seamlessly with the music on NRJ’s playlist. It has resulted in PURE Jingles’ biggest produced package to date! Check out over 20 main cuts with over 45 different mix-outs on the PURE NRJ JingleMixer page.
If there has been ONE name in radio that has echoed around Europe for the last couple of years, it has been the NRJ brand, which is run by the NRJ Group based in Paris, France. In France, NRJ has been the most listened-to music station since fall 2002.

3FM
One of the leading CHR stations in the Netherlands. 3FM is usually the first in discovering new bands. Their jingle package reflects the latest sound- and production techniques.
Because 3FM is known for breaking the newest bands and hottest music styles, their jingles reflect the latest production techniques. The current batch of jingles is inspired by Timbaland, but also the guitar sound of the Brittish Indie rock band The Arctic Monkeys. Drag and drop some in the JingleMixer, followed by songs that match them, and hear how this sounds in an on-air situation. So plug in your headset or speakers, turn it up and hear how custom made transistions can sound.
PURE Jingles is responsible for the complete on air imaging of 3FM, ranging from promo spots to freshly sung jingles every three months. Two of our producers work full-time at the station in creating the sound they need to sound positively different.
This includes monthly updates with new station ID’s, sweepers, beds, show openers, DJ cuts and everything else they can dream of. To make sure that 3FM gets provided with all the elements they need and in the way they want it, two of our producers are dedicated to work full-time at the station's studios.
National public CHR station 3FM in the Netherlands asked us to be responsible for their entire on-air imaging. Besides the production of all promo spots, we create the complete basic imaging.

Mega Top 50
Dutch CHR station 3FM was looking for a way to give their weekly chart show a fresh face! The result... the Mega Top 50 chart show package!
The logo at the end of each of the jingles was produced in all twelve musical keys, to make the transition between the jingles and hit songs smoother than ever before. It’s a new hit for Holland!
PURE Jingles developed a new package for the Mega Top 50, one of the leading chart shows in the Netherlands. We designed a brand new program ID package, based on today’s hit music.
If you are interested in hearing the result, we encourage you to go online and listen to his show! Live at Saturdays from 3 to 6 PM (Amsterdam time) or afterwards on demand, through the website of 3FM.
Mega Top 50 chart show host Bart Arens started his career with producing house records and has a strong musical background. He was looking for a jingle package that would have every jingle end in the same musical key as the song following it.

100%NL
100%NL plays only the best of todays Dutch pop music. But the stylistic range of jingles is as broad and relevant as in any other European country.
But OK, we were talking about the jingles... The range of music they play, is very wide (mainly Pop and Rock, but also some Dance and R&B). That's why the jingles reflect all these styles. PURE Jingles provided the finishing touch with the station ID’s. They sound the same way the jocks look. You’ll love them 100%!
Hot AC 100%NL is a young station with a very distinctive sound. It plays only music 'made in Holland' and has more women on the air than any other radio station in the market. This feminine aspect first had heads turning with the station's outdoor campaign ;-).

Consultancy

PURE Consultancy
The business of radio has become more competitive over the years. In our opinion, this means among other things that 'buying a jingle package and throwing it on the air' doesn't cut it any longer.
We know this all too well, because everybody who works here, has been working for top radio stations in the Netherlands. Some of our producers still work directly for 3FM, a leading Dutch CHR station. It would be a shame if we let all this accumulated knowledge go to waste. That's why PURE Jingles offers more advice when it comes to jingle packages. We want you to think of us as being part of your team. That's why we offer seminars on voice coaching, producing, copywriting and programming.
