Shoplifter In-Store Radio Promotion was founded by Richard Jankovich in early 2013 after a career involved in deciding what songs would play in retail playlists across America.
Richard spent time at boutique in-store music providers before landing a role heading up the creative direction for in-store programming at the world’s biggest in-store radio provider Mood Media, the parent company of Muzak and DMX.
Richard oversaw music selection for some of the world’s top retailers including AT&T, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Sephora, Chase Manhattan Bank, The North Face, Trader Joes, Sports Authority, Aeropostale, Lord & Taylor, Skechers, Payless, T.J Maxx, Marshalls, Smashburger, Le Pain Quotidien, New Balance, Sunglass Hut, Vanity Shops, Sur La Table, Ethan Allen, Charlotte Russe, Modells, Belk, Brooks Brothers, Kirklands, Pottery Barn Teen/Kids, Splendid, Men’s Wearhouse and more.
A true thought-leader, Richard lectures at USC and his first book, “Hit Brands: How Music Builds Value for the World’s Smartest Brands” was published in November of 2013.
