“Last year, you damned up a pond in Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans to make space for an extra 10,000; we didn’t think you could top that. We were wrong, this year you created a virtual city on a peninsula in San Diego. Averaging 60,000 people a day for four days, they were entertained for over 13 hours each day. Yes we provided the NFL Players, but you provided the “Super Bowl of Parties” indeed. Congratulations, we couldn’t have asked for more.”

— Doug Allen, Executive Producer of the entire NFL Players Party

President, Players, Inc. and Asst. Director NFL Players Association (Former)

Sports Marketing

“Russell Johnson understands and knows sports marketing. He understands the complex relationship between sponsorship fulfillment and ticket sales and creating events and campaigns that bridge the two. His productions are proof of that.”

Traditional Sports Marketing has one of three primary focuses

Promoting and Marketing a Sports League or Association including the promotion of a new market franchise
Promoting a team or sporting event to increase public participation
Utilizing Sporting Events to maximize sponsorships and attached corporate events.

JRJ has created, managed and produced projects in all of these areas. It knows the ins and outs of Sports Marketing; the varying objectives of the sponsors and the teams/venues and how to efficiently and effectively address them through the use of promotion, entertainment and events. For examples take a look at its Sports Marketing portfolio on Facebook.

Non Profit

“Who knew the Celebrity Celebration could grow to the level where Rupp Arena was our only option for the show? And what a show! I see how many details you juggle for the event and yet each year gets better. The celebrities this year were not only recognizable stars all, but were engaging and so much fun for our supporters. Another incredible year for the celebrities, the sponsors, the guests and most importantly the Markey Cancer Center Foundation….”

— John Leshney

Talent

“I’ve worked with Russell a few times and I have to say it is always a great event, either with Little Feat doing a Super Bowl Festival, or joining other musicians playing music and golf in a charity event, it’s always first class and done properly.”

— Paul Barriere

Little Feat

Procuring the right talent for an event, be it a corporate cocktail reception to a large multi-act festival, is as much a creative process as it is a business operation. JRJ Productions pride itself on its capabilities in providing just the right mix of entertainment that applies to the event. At times, there is a specific request; JRJ can find that talent and determine price and availability, usually within hours. Other cases call for talent suggestions.

JRJ has a reputation for choosing the best talent possible and appropriate for the specific event and budget. Its process of buying the talent could easily be called “The Art of the Deal”. JRJ is known for its tough negotiating skills and where and how to reach the best possible deal for its clients.

Its booked the biggest names in entertainment to local guitarists. From national comedians to the highest level speakers in the nation, from acts that are currently on the charts to many legends, there is not an area of talent that it haven’t dealt with.

It is known as an “artist’s producer”, meaning it has a reputation within the talent world of providing a smooth production experience for the talent and therefor the client. This reputation can, and does, many times positively affect the price. “Are you producing the show?” is a question JRJ is regularly asked by agents, managers, and talent alike.

387727_300733696615540_1722231520_n.jpg

The philosophy is “If the talent is happy, the client is going to get a great show”. At the same time, JRJ also has a reputation for going over a rider with a fine- toothed comb and deleting any and all unnecessary expenses.

559900_506179386070969_1649954568_n.jpg

The Art of the Deal. JRJ Productions understands what is important and what is not; and this is evident in the level of talent it brings to each and every event it produces. JRJ’s talent clients are, more often than not, the meeting planning company in charge of the whole project. JRJ Productions leave its ego at the door – it sees it job as making its clients look good and have no doubt they made the right decision.

59308_506176679404573_1156641730_n.jpg

Talent is the bedrock of JRJ Productions – Its Talent; and the Talent it’s able to bring to the table. It is the common denominator in all the operations of JRJ Productions and the success of each project.
