Custom Jingle Production in Cincinnati
Original jingles written, scored, and sung in our own Cincinnati studios. A hook your customers can still sing back in five years, cut for radio, TV, streaming, social, and hold.
A nationwide agency headquartered at 463 Ohio Pike, Suite 301, Cincinnati, OH 45255. Full service: Custom jingle production.
Cincinnati still remembers jingles, and that is not nostalgia.
This is a radio town. WLW has been a fixture for a century, the Reds and Bengals broadcasts carry enormous local reach, and a whole generation of Cincinnati businesses built their names on spots people could sing back. Ask anyone who grew up here to name a local business jingle and most of them can. That is not sentimentality, it is unpaid recall that lasted decades, and it is measurable in a way almost nothing in digital marketing is.
What changed is that almost nobody does it anymore. Marketing budgets shifted to channels with dashboards, and the audio hook got treated as a relic. So the field is wide open. A home services company in West Chester or a retailer in Florence with an actual jingle is instantly the memorable one in a category where every competitor sounds identical reading the same claims over stock music.
It also travels further than it used to. The same hook runs on WLW, on a streaming audio buy, under a fifteen second social video, on your hold message, at the end of a TV spot on Local 12, and as a sonic tag on a podcast read. One production, working across every audio surface you touch. That is a better return than most single-channel spend in this market.
How we write and produce a custom jingle.
The same process we have run since 1999, with you hearing options before anything is final.
- 01
Brand and category interview
What you sell, who buys it, what you want people to remember, and what your competitors sound like. The hook has to be true to your business or it never gets used past the first flight.
- 02
Lyric and concept writing
Our writers develop several directions with different tones and tempos. You read and hear the concepts before any studio time gets booked, so the expensive part starts with a direction you already like.
- 03
Demo versions
We produce rough versions of the leading concepts so you can hear them rather than imagine them. Playing three demos to your team settles arguments that email threads never will.
- 04
Production in our studios
Live singers and musicians, scored and tracked in our own Cincinnati audio suites. Clients sit in regularly, and being in the room means direction happens live instead of over three rounds of notes.
- 05
Mix and cutdowns
Final mix and mastering, then every length you will need. Sixty, thirty, fifteen, a donut version for changing offers, and a short sonic tag. All cut at the session while the elements are open.
- 06
Delivery and licensing
Broadcast-ready files in the formats every station and platform requires, plus a plain-language license telling you exactly where you can run it and for how long.
One of the country busiest jingle houses, and it is on Ohio Pike.
Killerspots has been producing jingles and audio since 1999, for more than 1,000 brands, most of them outside Ohio. That volume is the whole point. A shop that cuts a jingle occasionally is guessing. A shop that has produced them continuously for twenty five years knows within the first session whether a hook is going to stick, and knows how to fix it when it is not.
The studios are ours, in this building, along with a green screen video stage. Bootsy Collins has shot green screen here and Kirk Herbstreit has recorded in the same rooms. Six Telly Awards sit on the shelf. For a Cincinnati client that means you can drive over, sit in the control room, and hear your jingle tracked live rather than receiving a file from a producer you never meet.
It also means the jingle does not arrive as an orphan. The radio spots that carry it, the TV commercial it closes, the social video it scores, and the on-hold message it lives in are all produced by the same team, in the same week, for one campaign that sounds like one company.

Custom Jingles in Cincinnati, answered.
What does a custom jingle cost?
It depends on length, how many versions you need, whether we cast live singers or a solo vocalist, and how long the license runs. A thirty second anthem with cutdowns is a different project than a five second sonic logo. Tell us where it will run and we will scope it properly.
How long does it take to write and produce a jingle?
Three to five weeks is typical. Concept and lyric writing take the first week, you hear demo versions before we commit, then tracking, vocals, mixing, and cutdowns. Everything happens in this building, so a rush timeline is possible when a media buy demands it.
Do I own the jingle?
You get a clear written license spelling out exactly where you can run it and for how long. Ownership terms vary by project and we put them in plain language up front. Nobody should discover a usage restriction two years into running a spot they thought was theirs.
Can I hear examples before committing?
Yes. We have public demo reels covering home services, retail, automotive, healthcare, and more, and we will send work relevant to your category. You also hear multiple demo directions on your own project before we produce the final.
Does a jingle still work in 2026?
It works better than it has in years, because so few businesses use one. A hook people can hum is one of the last advantages a competitor cannot copy from your website. Radio, streaming audio, TV, social video, and even hold music all carry it.
Can you produce shorter versions for social and streaming?
Yes, and we plan them before recording rather than chopping later. Sixty, thirty, fifteen, and a short sonic tag for social video and podcast reads. Cutting versions at the session costs almost nothing. Recreating them next year costs a full production.
Do you use real singers and musicians?
Yes. Live vocalists and real players, cast for your brand. We produce this in house with our own audio suites and a roster we have used for years, which is why the results do not sound like a template with your name dropped into it.
Tell us what you want people to remember.
Send us your business, your category, and where the audio will run. We will send back relevant work from our catalog and a real number for writing and producing your own.
