About The Owner
Chief Media and Marketing is owned and operated by Jamie Bradford, current co-host of Inside the Gamecocks- The Show, part of TheBigSpur.com. He can also be heard weekly on 107.5 The Game in Columbia, SC.
JB is the former co-host and creator of The JB and Goldwater Show, a ground breaking digitally interactive sports show in South Carolina that laid the ground work for others to follow suit. He also co-hosted Bailey and Bradford on Sports Radio 1450am and hosted The JB Show on ESPN Radio Charleston. In addition, JB has been heard on stations in Savannah, GA, Louisville, KY, and Austin, TX.
Jamie is Charleston. Born and raised in Mount Pleasant, he comes from a multi-generational Lowcountry family. Previously, he hosted The JB Show on ESPN radio and co-hosted Carolina Gameday, the pregame show for Gamecock Football, on the same network.
A radio pro, he also has a fascinating marketing touch. He began his career in marketing and advertising before successfully turning that into the radio gig. Jamie can hear it and see it before you can think of it. He knows how to turn your hopes and dreams into a reality through creativity and promotion.
"JB" as the community has come to know him, is a Gamecock. He, along with the majority of his family, attended the University of South Carolina. His knowledge of Gamecock sports and his connections to the athletic department are as deep and wide as any. Many of Jamie's friendships and acquaintances are those who produced some of the greatest moments in Gamecock sports history. Jamie grew up going to games, memorizing stats and critical moments, and he parlayed that into a successful media career. A former baseball player, he has a deep love for the game still to this day.
However, Jamie's family is what drives him. He married Kari, his beautiful wife, in 2017 and they welcomed twin angel girls, Hanna James and Rylee Mae, to the world in March of 2019. Throw in their two black lab- German shepherd mix pups, Capers (15) and Dewees (7), and the house is full of fun!
JB loves to attend football, baseball, and basketball games in Columbia. He loves the water and enjoys summers in the boat, but also calls the mountains his "home away from home." Christmas is his favorite time of year and he decorates his home like the North Pole. His favorite place to visit is Laramie, Wyoming to see his in-laws, while enjoying time at Lake Marie in The Snowy Range. Jamie also has a passion for music. He plays guitar every morning for his daughters before taking them to daycare. In particular, he has followed the career of Eric Church (The Chief) since 2004, long before anyone knew the star he would become. Church's music was played during most of his most important days in his life; including his college days, during his wedding, and the early morning his daughters were born. Hence the name "Chief Media and Marketing."
