A :15, :30 or :60 radio commercial should be a story; so should a 140 character tweet, a 15 minute Podcast, a 387 word blog, a one hour documentary or a text message. If they re not well constructed stories they won t resonate with an over-communicated audience. With the democratization of media everyone has the potential to be a receiver, broadcaster and narrowcaster. The missing elements to lift your message up from the din are the ones that are rarely taught storytelling techniques. 10:15am - Noon #Production #Sales #Programming The 60-Second Copywriter One of the biggest obstacles faced by salespeople, writers and producers: No Time!
