Helmes Media Solutions expanding business in 2008

4BC Floater and founder of Helmes Media Solutions, Joel Helmes, says he’s extremely excited about what’s already been achieved by the business, and he is planning further expansion.

Helmes will fill in on Brisbane’s number 1 night-time talk program The Ian Maurice Show over summer, and was previously at 4KQ, Radio 2, 2KY and 2LT. His company produces a syndicated motoring show.

“We’ve had a very healthy number of radio stations spread across the nation say yes to our daily motoring show Behind the Wheel, which looks at a range of automotive issues from new technologies to ‘lemons’ and everything in between.”

Helmes Media Solutions, which has installed a new studio in inner Northern Brisbane, plans to role out a number of new short-form programs in coming months.

“I think stations will embrace these new concepts just as enthusiastically as they have with Behind the Wheel.

“Our RADIO WORKFORCE membership numbers are on the increase and we’re also ecstatic about the class of our voice-over team.”

The business which also offers Commercial Production is aligned with well known voice-over artists including Murray Shoring and Dani Bellamy, along with up and coming talents like Inga Norgrove and Ben Hogan.

The company has also just employed Josh Thompson one of “the best young Production Managers in the business” according to Helmes, so the company is set for a big year in 2008.
