31 Dec Celebrating 10 Years – Announcing Advokate Jingles!
Check out this awesome video Caitlin made to celebrate Advokate’s tenth anniversary! And Angie made this adorable illustration of the Advokate team. And here is what we wrote on our fifth anniversary, which doesn’t seem so long ago.
Advokate is here to help you fly.
As I look back on ten years in business, I am filled with gratitude for our clients, our community, and our team. I can’t even start to list the clients because I know I’ll miss one of them, but I feel so fortunate to have crossed paths with every single one of you. Our clients make Advokate what it is, and we have evolved as we rise to meet your needs. I am confident that we will continue to morph over the next ten years, and couldn’t be happier with a business model that wraps our arms around our clients to support them on their journey.
My kids have gotten into this show called My Magic Pet Morphle. In one episode, the character Mila needs a hot air balloon to fly and retrieve a lost birthday balloon, so Morphle becomes a hot air balloon. Mila needs to get over a tree blocking the road, so Morphle becomes a kangaroo to jump over the tree. I think Advokate is like Morphle in that way. You tell us what you need, and we’ll help you, even if we need to evolve to do it. We are here to help you figure out a way to get it done.
During the pandemic, we have been alongside you while you get online or shift gears and change how you do business or plan events. In December, we took on seven new clients and launched five new websites as part of a project with Champlain College, with 17 new websites launched this year total. We met over Zoom and Slack, we worked until after midnight, we moved our office home, we juggled virtual school, and we succeeded.
We’re here to help you fly. For the last ten years, through a pandemic, and for the years to come.
Aaaaand… we have an exciting announcement to make!
WE DO JINGLES NOW!
Jingles are awesome. Think about it. Which of these do you NOT sing in your head as you read them? Oh, oh, oh, O’Reilly… By Mennen… The best part of waking up… Double double your refreshment… Say goodbye a little longer, make it last a little longer… Juicy Fruit, it’s gonna move ya… Give me a break, give me a break… Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow… What would you doooo for a Klondike bar?… My bologna has a first name… I want to be an Oscar Mayer weiner… I want my baby back baby back baby back… With mentos fresh and full of life…
I can still remember Stick Stickley’s address because of a song that Nickelodeon played over and over. And how many of you know whose number is 867-5309, while we’re talking about earworms?
So it’s time to get your message stuck in people’s brains, and we’re going to help you do it.
Cory and Kate can come up with tunes, Cory plays guitar, Angie is an excellent singer, and her boyfriend Brian Cieply is great on the mixing and composing side of things, plus we have connections with some of the area’s best musicians and voices. We are pleased to announce these talents for hire as Sonic Branding is a new part of Advokate’s business!
You can use your jingle on a radio ad, in YouTube videos, on podcasts or as hold music, in a radio ad or anywhere at all that uses sound!
