Jim Sullivan

Jim is also a partner in the operation and the keys man in the corporation. Meaning that he plays keyboards – a lot, and well. If it has a keyboard, he plays it, from pianos and various synths to his real pride and joy, a vintage Hammond B3 organ with restored and functional Leslie speaker cabinets. This might not mean much to the non-keyboardist, but it’s a big deal when you moonlight with various rock and blues bands like Jim does.

Jim is one of those guys who’s been in the biz long enough to know nearly every facet of it, and his client list reflects that, with music clients like Aerosmith and Godsmack; a who’s-who of ad agencies that ranges from Boston locals like Partners + simons and Gearon Hoffman to national heavyweights like Saatchi and Saatchi; programming and documentary clients (the bulk of his work these days) that range from the Frontline series, Nova, American Experience on PBS to various works for the Discovery Channel. Broadcast promotion is also a big part of our lives here at Mix One, and Viewpoint Creative, Smash Advertising and Discovery are among the regulars in here, with promos for HBO, A&E, the History Channel, Court TV, ESPN and Showtime. Jim counts many awards – Peabody, Emmy, NY Film Festival Gold Award – to his credit as well.

When he’s not behind a keyboard, Jim enjoys camping, canoeing and traveling to Mexico for vacation time with his family, as well as pursuing his never-ending quest for the best Indian food. Jim also holds the Mix One record for the most pets – 2 cats, 1 very large dog, a parrot, 1 lizard and a newt.
