Founders:
Jingle Punks Music is a music publishing and licensing company headquartered in New York, NY, founded by Jared Gutstadt and Dan Demole in October 2008. The company provides original and licensed music for television, film, video games, and advertisements.
The company began as a self-funded startup company based out of the Lower East Side apartment of co-founder Jared Gutstadt in New York City. The other co-founder of Jingle Punks, Dan Demole, met Jared at a The Black Keys concert during an evening later dubbed "The Big Kahuna Night." The company officially launched in October 2008. Soon after, they partnered with former E-Town Concrete singer and music manager Anthony Martini to increase their catalog of artists. Within months of launching the company, they released their platform, "The Jingle Player." Developed by Demole with industry knowledge input from Jared, it helped them differentiate themselves quickly from their competitors. The Player itself is a proprietary, patented technology that provides targeted music selection with a searchable and user-friendly interface.
In July 2009 they became music providers for both Viacom and Bravo TV networks.
In April 2010 Jingle Punks launched their West Coast offices with offices following in Toronto and London. Early notice came from CNN and Variety, while other early landmark moments included being named Pepsi/SoundCtrl Leading Innovator in the Music Technology Industry at South by Southwest 2010 (SXSW).
Shortly after returning from SXSW 2010, Jingle Punks completed substantial equity financing and established its strategic advisory board. The funding was sponsored by Hammerline Capital out of New York with an advisory board that included such tech and music industry veterans as Steve Kofsky of New Remote Publishing and former Last.fm COO Spencer Hyman, who observed "To me, the Jingle Punks approach represents the future of music discovery and music licensing."
