The radio game has taken Adam all over the UK working with some of the industries leading programmers and talents while earning a couple of nice awards along the way.
Starting out on the sunny south coast of England, Adam cut his teeth at 103.2 Power Fm where he discovered he had a serious knack for smashing sounds together.
He landed his first Imaging gig at the tender age of 19 at Key 103 Manchester where he revamped the station sound, introduced new voices, sound design and jingles.

In 2005 Adam moved to GCap Media where he undertook all major Imaging jobs for the ‘one network’, a network of over 40 radio stations. It was here he also took the reins as imaging producer for the countries biggest national chart show, Hit 40 UK and rebranded the entire ‘one network’, resulting in the largest Imaging Rebrand in UK radio history!
Once Global Radio acquired GCap Media and restructured the ‘one network’ to Heart, Adam moved across to Image Global’s flagship London Radio Station, 95.8 Capital FM. While here he also produced for the Xfm network and continued his work on the chart show, now rebranded as ‘The Big Top 40 Show’.

If Adams full time employment took him all over the country, Contraband Media certainly takes him all over the world. Check out Adam’s showreel about and our client audio in the audio samples section for a taster of what we’ve been up to.

Tom has showcased his range of imaging skills across on a variety of radio platforms and networks. From his launch pad at 103.2 Power FM in 2001, to imaging the Galaxy Network where he received national and international production awards including a Sony Nomination in 2005. A brief spell freelancing at Heart London entailed before he was off to rebrand Vibe FM in Bristol.
As Imaging Producer, Tom re-inventing the station’s sound before taking it through the process of a Kiss rebrand when Bauer acquired Emap.

In 2007, Tom was approached by New Zealand multi-media giant Mediaworks to take position as head of production for the More FM network, a brand consisting of 23 local stations spanning both islands of New Zealand.

How could Tom possibly turn down a gig living in a country famous for producing such TV delights as Shortland Street, and where men are men… and sheep are nervous?!

Alongside his full time responsibilities in New Zealand Tom’s work with Contraband Media has seen him brand stations in Canada, Hawaii, Jordan and multiple UK markets.
