Where Are They Now?

   
Jeff Arthur

Awards of all kinds line the walls at Jeff Arthur Productions… Angel, Monitor, Addy, Golden Pyramid, and two prestigious Clios… all obvious results of thousands of hours spent writing, producing, and performing musical images for clients across the country.

Jeff Arthur is president and founder of Jeff Arthur Productions, a 25+ year old company which offers custom musical images for clients at radio and television stations throughout the nation, as well as film and television scores, team fight songs, audio/visual presentations, and state-of-the-art on-hold messaging systems. Jeff Arthur Productions is one of the largest custom music production companies in the United States.

Formerly a recording artist for Columbia and A&M Records, Jeff played with the trio Arthur, Hurley & Gottlieb, recording the 1973 hit “Sunshine Ship”. Arthur started his commercial music career with a 1971 jingle created for Just Pants. He has gone on to craft his music for such national clients as Reebok, Anheuser-Busch, Continental Airlines, Wendy’s, the NBA, and you may recognize his most recent sports club song for the Bucs called, “Hey! Hey! Tampa Bay.” He has appeared on such national television shows as The Mike Douglas Show and in concert with the New York Philharmonic. Arthur is also credited for coining the now famous phrase, “Just Say No,” for the Keebler Corporation and Nancy Reagan’s drug awareness program.

When he’s not meeting with clients or behind a microphone or mixing board, Arthur travels the country, addressing seminars and conferences on the marketing applications of music. He has visited New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta as feature speaker for Adweek magazine and was one of a select team of advertising professionals chosen to speak at the National Retail Advertising Conference in Chicago.

Time Magazine music critic, Joan Downs, sums up Jeff Arthur: “…skillful commercial production… voices that ring out strong and bright against vivid instrumentation.”

In addition to Jeff Arthur Productions, Arthur operates two other music and voice talent-based companies: MallTalk – providing in-mall broadcast advertising for shopping centers and their merchants around the country… and On-Hold Business Systems – providing on-hold messaging systems, allowing clients to inform their callers about products and services while they wait on hold. Clients include: Merrill Lynch, Humana, Raymond James, and many others across the nation.

Mr. Arthur is married, has a daughter and a son and is a native and current resident of Clearwater, FL.
