Radio Commercial

When you are driving in the car and a radio commercial comes on you might start to tune the radio out. But, if you were the person selling what the commercial was offering would you want people tuning it out or listening intently? Well, I would want people paying attention to my commercial! So, for this audio assignment pick a product or business you would like to promote and sell! Use a audio recording software such as soundcloud or audacity to record your commercial. Add in background music, edits, and provide full information of the business/product/services you are advertising. Try to create a radio commercial that grabs and maintains the audiences’ attention. On the side, write why you chose the object or business you are promoting and the process you used to create your commercial.  Don't forget the 4P's of marketing.  

If you're not comfortable with recording yourself, type out the transcript for the commercial or you can use an AI voice.  This is done all the time and people not only record commercials but other people write them as well.   

You may work in pairs on this assignment if you choose. 

Take your time, you'll have until the break to work on this (you'll be doing a TV commercial next so pick a product that you think you can do a radio and TV commercial for).
