Radio Branding Campaign: NPR/Regional Wisconsin Public Radio
To promote a new guided group tour of rural Wisconsin sites, planned a year-long public radio radio/web/event sponsorship campaign, aligned with the anniversary of Wisconsin's statewide public radio -- and the nation's oldest public radio station. Campaign combined sponsor reads on heavy rotation, web loyalty rewards, sponsorship of special events such as local taping of the On Point Listening Tour with Tom Ashbrook, and ultimately a co-branded WPR commemorative anniversary tour.

V-Discs Music Collection Spots
Scripted :30, :60 and :90 second spots for this direct-response campaign for a music collectibles series, the WWII-era "V-Discs" series. These broadcasts to the "boys on the front" from top stars like the Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, and many more made for an amazing series of spots rich with nostalgic voices and sounds of "the Greatest Generation". Unfortunately, no know digital recordings remain, but you can read about these historic recordings here.
