"Sometimes, marketing directors are so intimately
involved in the subjective nature of nurturing and cradling old
and stale marketing campaigns, that they need an outside, objective,
hard working agency to pull them away from what they have been locked
into for many years. It's all about getting updated facts about
their audience, understanding their psyche, and outputting the right
message to create the reaction they are seeking. We have fresh
ideas when it comes to developing a recipe for success and my multi-faceted
team creates the perfect marketing mix of the four P’s: Product,
Price, Place, and Promotion." - Bernie

JONATHAN FURSHPAN : VP Multimedia Development. From his mid-teens, Jon began building web sites for Furshpan Associates. He attended Northeastern University where he majored in Business with a concentration in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. He eventually transferred to the University of Massachusetts's Boston campus, where his major and concentration remained the same.
While living in Boston, Jon held directorial roles in fields of Marketing and Public Relations for companies in the technology sector. Using this experience, he co-founded Prodigy Technology–an educational software company – in 2004. While at Prodigy Technology, Jon has focused his marketing and creative skills towards product development, with an emphasis on long-term strategic planning. Feeling a desire to produce within the entertainment industry, in 2005 he began traveling frequently between his home in Boston and New York City to produce concerts at Lincoln Center and Hammerstein Ballroom with BigFish Productions, Bernie's concert production company. Their most successful production, Legends of the Blues at Lincoln Center in 2005, received nationwide media attention and was treated to a surprise guest performance by John Mayer. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed the concert’s date in the City of New York as “Legends of the Blues Day.”
Jon’s love for producing was reawakened. He went on to create a Hanukkah parody song in 2006 that received worldwide recognition on radio, television, and the Internet. Soon after, Jon began producing dozens of radio jingles, television commercials, and promotional videos, primarily for clients of Furshpan Associates in the New York market. His first jingle, “Dan the CityWide Man,” was voted the most recognized TV and Radio jingle on Long Island for 2007 by New York's Newsday.
Much of Jon’s production experience has been with concert events, entrepreneurial start-up ventures, and video, music, and multimedia projects. As a result, Jon is a self-taught story boarder, script writer, director, and editor. He has also become well-versed in music composition, writing, editing, and mixing. In addition, Jon has provided voiceovers and backup vocals for many of the radio jingles he has produced.
