BOB ROSS
Jesse Janson, VP of Acquisitions & Development for Janson Media, is largely responsible for the emergence of Bob Ross as a modern-day cultural icon. In 2013, Mr. Janson negotiated the acquisition of digital rights to the classic television series The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, an American public television program that became the most watched painting program in the world. Working with Bob Ross, Inc., the owners of the IP, Janson proceeded to develop a marketing campaign that re-introduced Bob Ross to the world, placing The Joy of Painting on virtually every major digital video platform.
Central to this campaign is the The Bob Ross Youtube Channel, designed and managed by Janson Media, with 6 million subscribers and over 690 million views as of January 2025. Recently Janson Media produced and premiered a one-hour special, Keeping the Bob Ross Dream Alive, featuring Bob Ross-certified painter and instructor Nicholas Hankins. More episodes with Nic are in the production pipeline.
Janson also brought on Twitch.TV as an early partner in the campaign, launching a linear channel, which today has over 2.2 million loyal followers. The Bob Ross channel on Twitch celebrates Bob's birthday every October with a 10-day marathon. Twenty-one seasons of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross are also available on Amazon Prime Video and many other streaming platforms.
