Thanks for your desire to find out more about Creative Promotions. My name is Wendell Gafford and I'm the President of this independent radio promotions and marketing company.

I founded Creative Promotions in October of 1996. At the time, I was Program Director for the Praise FM Network in Central Minnesota. I had just left Mobile, Alabama based Integrity Music as Manager of Radio Promotions, a position he had held since the fall of 1994. Before joining Integrity Music, I served as Music Director for WFRN (an Inspirational reporter at the time), serving the Elkhart/South Bend markets in northern Indiana and southern Michigan (1988-94).

As Creative Promotions began to grow and develop, it became clear that the Lord was leading me to pursue Christian radio promotions and marketing full-time. In the summer of 1998, I resigned my position with Praise FM to pursue Creative Promotions on a full-time basis.

When I started Creative Promotions, our focus was purely on radio promotions, specifically to the Inspirational and Praise & Worship formats. Our focus continues to be strong in the area of radio promotions which now includes a focus on both the Inspirational and AC formats in our partnership with AC music veteran Jim Veldhuis. However, as we have worked more closely with Christian artists and labels we have broadened our area of promotion to include Web site design, developing multimedia press kits and presentations, video editing as well as consulting.  Our goal is to work closely with artists and labels to develop creative ways they can use to more effectively communicate their music and ministry.

I invite you to take a moment and get to know Creative Promotions a little better. Whatever your need may be, I encourage you to find out if we can be of assistance.

In His Service,
Wendell Gafford
