Movin' (brand)

"Movin'" (capitalized as "MOViN'") is a brand name used for a variety of rhythmic AC and top 40 radio stations in numerous broadcast markets in the United States. The name is a registered trademark of Alan Burns & Associates, a radio consultancy firm based in Perdido Key, Florida.

Format background

This format started in the city of Seattle when Hot AC outlet KLSY (Mix 92.5) became KQMV MOViN 92.5 on May 1, 2006 as it was the first station of its kind.

"MOViN" stations mainly play an upbeat and mostly Dance-leaning Rhythmic Adult Contemporary format and uses the same logo, which features a colorful hue of green circles (except for Norfolk, whose hues are brown and dark orange). Although the stations are consulted by Burns, some have carved their own niche and identity.

In most of the markets where the "MOViN'" stations are located, a series of television commercials will feature women (and a couple of guys) shaking their behinds to a montage of Rhythmic hits, and in the case of KMVN/Los Angeles, a customized version has morning host Rick Dees dancing.

Movin' (album)

Movin' is the second album by American singer Jennifer Rush.

Overview

Originally released in Germany in late 1985, just as Rush was experiencing worldwide success with "The Power of Love" from her previous album, Movin' became an instant hit there. The album reached No.1 for 14 weeks and went on to be the biggest selling album of 1986. Despite high sales for her previous album, Rush found it harder to follow up in the UK, where the album (released in 1986) only managed to reach No.32, mainly due to the lack of a hit single. The international first release was "Destiny", which charted highly in many countries, but only scraped the bottom of the top 100 in the UK. A second single "If You're Ever Gonna Lose My Love" also sold well in Europe. Other notable tracks included a decidedly electronic working of the Stevie Wonder song "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday", and "Ave Maria" (an original track), which was released as a single much later in 1991.

US success still eluded Rush and so after this album she decided to relocate from Germany in order to secure a wider fanbase for her next album.

Movin' (song)

"Movin'" is a song by R&B/disco band Brass Construction. The song was culled together from a 16-minute jam session by the band. Released from their self-titled 1976 album, the single spent a week at number one on the R&B singles chart in the spring of that year. It was also successful on the pop charts, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the disco dance charts, "Movin'" went to number one for four weeks and spent a total of twelve weeks on the chart.

The song is heard playing in the background in the Good Times episode "The Rent Party" at the Evans' going-away party, where they receive the news that the Evans' patriarch, James, had been killed in an automobile accident.

Brand

A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol or other feature that distinguishes one seller's product from those of others. Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. Initially, livestock branding was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot branding iron.

In accounting, a brand defined as an intangible asset is often the most valuable asset on a corporation's balance sheet. Brand owners manage their brands carefully to create shareholder value, and brand valuation is an important management technique that ascribes a money value to a brand, and allows marketing investment to be managed (e.g.: prioritized across a portfolio of brands) to maximize shareholder value. Although only acquired brands appear on a company's balance sheet, the notion of putting a value on a brand forces marketing leaders to be focused on long term stewardship of the brand and managing for value.
