2011 is gone… Welcome 2012!

JacobS — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:09:16 +0000

2012 is already rolling, and thing continue to grow for RNE Live! And RNE VO. 2011 was a spectacular year, gaining more clients and seeing new places. 45 cities in 40 weeks was a push, but over the years we have learned to be as adaptable as possible to meet our clients needs and dates.
RNE Live! is a first come, first serve, company and DOES NOT cancel. We pride ourselves on meeting deadlines and ensuring promoters that there is nothing that we won’t try or do to make an event on schedule.
In 2011, RNE Live! expanded the non-motorsport related events schedule, with multiple Dock Dogs events around the nation. One of the honors for RNE Live! in 2011 was being selected to emcee the Dock Dogs National and World Championship events. Not only did we handle the competitive side of the World Championships, RNE Live! also hosted the awards banquet for the World’s as well. Truly enjoyed the experience and have laid a foundation for a long term run announcing their events and banquets in the future. Will be traveling to the UK for one of the regional qualifiers in 2012, making it the 6th trip across the pond for this small town Idaho boy.
Speaking of small town Idaho. It was also RNE Live!’s honor to be invited to speak at Lakeland Joint School District #272’s school in Rathdrum, Idaho. Spent a couple of hours talking to high school students about public speaking and motorsports related stuff. The kids had great questions and I really hope that some of the tips given were helpful. We hope to be invited back in 2012.
As stated above, RNE Live! doubled up on cities certain weeks and it seems as if the booking agent has done that again in 2012. Had a strong talking to with that guy, but he just seems to forget that once the events are booked, follow through is tough. It was a hard go to make all of the arrangements work, at times. Thankfully the airlines played along and did not bungle any of the travel arrangements, as it was a definite gamble at times. Hoping for the same luck in 2012.
RNE Live! has had some interest from new promoters and events. A few more “emcee” engagements are in the offing, and have been in touch with a new freestyle motocross tour that we are hopeful will pan out. Dirt bikes are my first love, and anytime we can be involved with the top athletes in any sport, we are more than interested.
Social Media is not going to be a fad. Nearly 20% of new business for RNE Live! & RNE VO have come from Face Book. We will have direct link from RoadNoise Entertainment.com to the fb page. Lots of photos and video’s and a great way to keep up with where we are at.

As always, we here at RNE Live! & RNE VO want to thank all of our clients and promoters. We are truly appreciative of your continued business and we look forward to a long ride. See ya down the ROAD!!!!

2010 is a wrap!

JacobS — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 23:18:48 +0000

2010 was a banner year for RNE LIVE! and RNE VO. On the live side, RoadNoise Entertainment visited some old haunts and attended several new venues. By the end of the first quarter in 2011, RNE will have entertained in all 50 states, and for a small town kid, it is something I cherish. A new venue in 2010 was Red Bluff, California. I have heard of the event for many years and was finally able to be involved in what has become a community HAPPENING in that small Nor Cal town. To prove that it has become a spectacle in its own right, they even had a STREAKER run through the middle of the stadium during the show!! In Georgia, I saw a 10,000 pound monster truck perform a BACKFLIP, spent 2 fantastic weeks in Europe with Monster Jam and some dear friends, thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Sublimity Harvest Festival, and as always the working vacation in Turlock is a yearly highlight.

RNE LIVE! participated in multiple Dock Dog events over the summer and it has become one of my favorite things to announce. The dogs, people and atmosphere of the shows are way laid back, and hanging out at state, county and city fairs is an o.k. way to spend a few days. Capping the 2010 LIVE! season, was the Muddy Buddy event in Portland, Oregon. A great weekend of physical exercise, for someone other than me. No way I could make that course on foot, or bicycle, but I can tell you that no one will make it around that course in a Gator faster than me!!

RNE VO also had a stellar year, cutting multiple television and radio commercials for promoters in the motorsports industry. RNE VO’s clientele doubled in 2010 and we are hoping for the same in 2011.
As 2011 rolls on, you can guarantee that RNE LIVE! will be on the road…making NOISE!!!

2010 RoadNoise Entertainment starts 2nd Decade

ScottH — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:54:12 +0000

As 2010 progresses, RoadNoise Entertainment is embarking on the 2nd decade of travel and entertaining. I have been super fortunate the last 10 years and I look forward to the future with bright eyes. RoadNoise Entertainment has branched into two businesses for decade number 2. While it has always been RoadNoise Entertainment, we now have RoadNoise LIVE! and RoadNoise VO. The LIVE part of RNE will continue as always, with live event emcee services, while RNE VO is all new for 2010. VO, is full service production of television and radio commercials, from script writing, dry reads, fully produced radio spots and complete video production (of the highest quality with the newest technologies) for your TV ads, or video biography.
I am really looking forward to all of the events, cities and fans in 2010 and am excited about forging new business relationships with old friends, and building the foundation for years of success with new contacts.
We look forward to seeing you down the road!!

2009 The End

ScottH — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:01:39 +0000

The 2009 motorsports season is coming to a close for RoadNoise Entertainment. It was a FANtastic year!
I made some great new friends, rekindled old relationships, and was able to hang with my friends and family on the road.
RoadNoise was very happy to work with some new promoters in 2009, Flame Motorsports and Family Events and the USSBA. It was also a blessing to work with Lee and Cheri Collins with WHR Motorsports again, as that is where I got my true professional start. I truly hope to do more events for WHR Motorsports and Family Events in the upcoming years.
2010 will see RoadNoise Entertainment’s Scott Heaton continue the tremendous relationship with John Shipman Motorsports at the Stanislaus County Fair and the Central Valley Monster Truck Fall Nationals in Turlock, and at the Josephine County Fair in Grants Pass, Oregon for California Trucks N Stuff. Randy and Sherry Smallwood, of Cal Trucks n Stuff, have been a huge part of my “road family” for the last 15 years and their friendship and business relationship with RNE are cherished. I will also be back at the Sublimity Harvest Festival in Sublimity, Oregon. This is a must attend event, so mark it on your calendars! Halloween in 2010 will be once again spent in Houston, Texas for David Smith and the Flame Motorsports team. This is a huge charity event, benefiting the Ronald McDonald houses in Houston (there are 4), and I was very proud to be part of the event AND to be invited back. And as always, the first quarter of the year will be with Feld Motorsports and Monster Jam.
Brian Sharenow and FMG Events have really stepped up for RNE over the last several months and I see more events in the future for FMG that may be a change of pace for me from the motorsports scene.
To all of the event managers, promoters, marketing folks and crew, Thanks for a wonderful year and I look forward to seeing all of you in 2010 and beyond.

Sincerely,
Scott J Heaton
RNE
