tfQ’s First Radio Ad!
Everyone,
As you know the investors have been riding me pretty hard about not wasting money on frivolous things and immediately making a profit and paying the bills and making payroll and other unreasonable demands. Needless to say, I am grateful that you all have my back and understand what art is.
In an effort to broaden our reach and get new readers, hip readers from an impressionable demographic, I’ve decided that we need to advertise on the mass media. Unfortunately, with investors demanding justification for anything over $300, that pretty much limits me to radio. I was also unable to find proper voice talent for under $300.
But not to worry! Grandpa Campbell just happened to be a World War II Armed Forces radio announcer. And even though I hadn’t seen him in three years, I knew that once he recognized me after a few minutes, he would be more than willing to loosen up the pipes and belt out a kick-ass, cutting-edge spot. Sure enough, he didn’t disappoint.
The only thing left to do was lay down some music. Of course I didn’t have a budget for that, but I found some newsy-sounding stuff that had fallen out of copyright.
Anyway, this is the finished ad. I hope that you are as blown away by it as the investors and the 16-25 year-old demographic are bound to be.
Sincerely,
nonlinearmind
