New Ad: The YeahXcitement

YEAHXCITEMENT is the 1st of five new adverts from our multimedia & foreign language brands. It captures the reaction I get often from individual clients & from agencies of all sizes that give our brands the task of turning their sometimes vague ideas into reality.

There's nothing more rewarding than completing a project and on delivering it to the client seeing faces light up in that uncontrollable moment of joy that says: 'Yeeeeeaah!, I'm excited'.

YEAHXCITEMENT features Carol, a fellow entrepreneur & close friend I've known since we were 18/19 years old.

More on Carol:
* Cost Engineer by profession
* Entrepreneur by inspiration
* Our brands' main contact & publicist on the West Coast
* Calls California (US) and Nairobi (Kenya) her home
* 2004-2009 we collaborated on her online language teaching school and a tours & travel service
* She is currently setting up her independent management consulting agency to improve performance
and job satisfaction for workers of state & government agencies.
Watch this space for the official launch.

In producing the music for Forever No More, I opened the track with American jazz piano keys and closed out the production with trumpets & horns typical of traditional Swahili wedding parades. That and everything in between is yours to enjoy!
