Branding - Become a Household Word

Make your company name synonymous with the products and services you offer. Branding emphasizes and repeats your name and message, linking your name with the benefits of doing business with you. Builds your potential customer's awareness of your product or service. A great way to strengthen your overall marketing campaign by tying into your existing print ads, press releases, radio, billboards, etc.

FINE DINING

Elegance and atmosphere shine through with candlelight, fine wine, and entrées artfully arranged in a presentation to enchant the most discriminating of tastes. Smooth music and subtle narration set the mood.
Restaurant Owners - We do TV spots for all types of venues: family style, take-out, white-tablecloth, bar & grill, and more. Ask us how.

THE PROFESSIONS
Legal, medical, and financial professionalism presented in a dignified, businesslike, yet reassuring setting to inspire confidence. Sincere, positive music with straightforward narration. Excellent and effective with professional voiceover narration.
CANDIDATE

Issue-oriented or candidate-focused -- a persuasive message crafted to touch the hearts and minds of the voting public. Can range from a no-holds-barred punch to a touching, reverent appeal straight to the heart.

 
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Charitable organizations, government agencies, and social causes increase awareness of the agency's contribution to the community, educate the public, or broaden understanding of today's complex issues.  Solicit support, donations, votes for the issue at hand.

 

Sales - C'mon Down!

Your established store and brand name are already known in the community. You just need to announce a special sale, event, or limited time offer. Your exciting sales message grabs your customer and says: COME ON DOWN AND BUY NOW!  

Great for retail businesses of all kinds. Gets customers into your store TODAY. Increase foot traffic to your business. Says what it is, how much, and where to get it -- with an extra push of urgency.

Here's a fist-full of ideas:

PRIME PROPERTIES

Spots with real "curb appeal." Put your independently owned Real Estate franchise or Independent Agency right out front -- feature homes for sale, or boost your agency or office. Special Real Estate sales boosters available -- Click Here!

MATTRESS MANIA

Price-smashing, wham-pow sound effects punctuate active displays of mattresses and bedding products at their low-low buy today prices! Driving music, special effects and rapid-fire voiceover. Also works great for home furnishings stores and carpet outlets.

DISCREETdotCOM

Delicate topics handled with care -- personal care products, or any product or service addressing a hard-to-discuss customer need are presented in a subtle, non-threatening way that clearly paints a picture in the customer's mind without going "too far." A clear, yet tasteful message spurs the customer to pick up the phone or go to your web site.

Light humor -- an equally effective alternative is to address a difficult topic with a sense of humor. Sometimes a little levity takes the fear out of the customer's product need, and puts them in the mood to take the step to buy your health/beauty product.

Our professional HOLLYWOOD experience ensures you'll be getting a quality TV spot.
