Radio Commercial Ad Script Example

 Traditionally radio has been regarded as the “theatre of the mind”. Even today in a world of computer generated imagery and 3D animation the little old radio still competes with visually based media.

The argument is swayed in favour of radio commercials because of the cost difference. Here’s a real example that illustrates how a Radio Commercial Script can become a reality regardless of the perceived production intricacy.

RADIO VS TV

This example comes from the pen of Stan Freberg an American Creative Director and legendary voice artist.

When commissioned to create a promotional campaign to highlight the advantages of radio advertising versus Television, Mr Freberg had the listener “transported” to the shores of Lake Michigan.

The sound effects throughout the commercial help to suspend disbelief and develop the imagery of an actual event of mammoth proportions.

On top of the drone of a squadron of B29 bombers the announcer orders the draining of the lake and we hear a command to refill the lake with whipped cream.

Finally the order is given to drop a giant maraschino cherry right on top of the mountain of whipped cream.

We hear the prolonged whistle of the giant cherry as it hurtles down like a bomb culminating in a loud “sploosh” as it lands in the cream.

The announcer voice, now in a very tongue in cheek delivery says the words “Try doing that on television”.
