Allan Ross – President/CEO

Background Information

Harnessing his incredible energy and a passion for music, Allan took his career to the next level creating a highly successful music, TV, and radio production company of his own. AJR Music Productions, headquartered in New York City, wrote, scored, directed, and produced adverting jingles and theme songs for a client list of well-known corporations, including Gallo Wine, Cartoon Network, NBC Sports, CNN, Crystal Light, Century 21, Friehofer's, and Turner Classic Movies. Many of AJR Music Productions’ catchy jingles would still be familiar to consumers today. As Allan and AJR Music Productions’ successes grew, so did the demand for additional services.

To meet that demand, in 1991 the music production company became a division of what is now AJ Ross Creative Media, a full-service marketing, advertising, and design agency located in Orange County, NY in the heart of the Hudson Valley. The agency uses a blend of traditional advertising and marketing techniques along with the latest in electronic and social media to create campaigns that garner results for clients. Currently in its third decade, the agency has experience in a variety of industries including healthcare, real estate, senior housing, corporate, and professional services.

Some of AJ Ross clients include Orange County Partnership, Orange County IDA, Time Warner Cable, Finkelstein & Partners, Jacoby and Meyers, Pear Soaps, and many more. Click here to view full client list.
