Sheep Jam Origin
Sheep Jam Productions launched in early 2017 after a trip to Stonehenge, when Susie, our founder, witnessed a line of quirky sheep behaving much like the traffic of cars also in view. This led to the birth of the concept of a “sheep jam” similar to a traffic jam. (The sheep images featured on our website were taken on this day.)
Susie enjoyed the comparison between a “sheep jam” and a “traffic jam,” and found it relatable to her experience as a nationally syndicated radio producer and host, as well as her current passion for podcasting and audio production.
Founded on solid principles of powerful content, diverse voices, broadcast quality production, and outstanding service, Sheep Jam produces podcasts, commercials, and powerful audio content that gets noticed and helps individuals and corporations connect their message to their audience.
Sheep Jam Philosophy
Creating average audio content is easy. Creating clean, clear, powerful audio content that connects with your target audience is not. Don’t settle for mediocre, bloated, or unprofessional-sounding content. Choose to be a creator who gets noticed and makes a real impression in the world. Let us help you create a podcast that truly “dings” in the universe.
At Sheep Jam Productions, our philosophy is simple:
Sheep Jam
Principles
- Creating compelling, mindful, and insightful content will connect and resonate with target audiences.
- Strong, diverse voices add unique and valuable perspectives that are important for the world to hear.
- Broadcast quality production elevates the host and the message, presenting information as engagingly as possible.
- Outstanding, dedicated service gives you, the creator, the ability to do what you do best, while we take care of everything else and make the process as easy as possible for you.
