One in a series of four commercials with the aim of changing the perception of HOSPICE from death, to living longer with care.

When the client has an idea in mind, sometimes it can really come together. This was a client written rap that I put together and voiced. Lots of fun and the client was amazed that we could pull it off.

I know it's probably been done before, but I had to try it. "It" being the announcer getting a client's name wrong in the very ad they're voicing. This kind of playful deprecation, I think, not only helps listeners remember the client's name but also sheds a little light on said client as someone with a sense of humor. But since the sale info talked about things like family and holidays, I had to throw In a curve. So in this installment from one of my "making the client sound relatable" campaigns I added a female voice to the mix. Keeps the pressure off the client with short, punchy lines-yet continuing to play on the lack of trust the client has in the announcer's ability (or willingness) to get it right. Oh, did I mention this client only had the budget for 30's? Even more fun...

Students are back in class, and this was written, voiced and produced by students who are just starting their 2nd year in our post-secondary radio program. I just can't wait to hear what they be producing by the time they graduate!
