3960 Advertising What Happened in Class

Thursday, November 19

The Tower media kits were distributed and each student was asked who they had in mind for an advertiser. The instructor recorded the information and will put it in a table.

The instructor provided a handout for the radio commercial. The handout provided formats for radio ads and also strategies for writing the ad (types of emotional appeals, for example). Students are to review the handout and decide on a format and appeal for their upcoming commercial.

The handout included a format for the radio script. The instructor demonstrated the setup in class.
