Writing is where a radio ad lives or dies, so here’s ours. These are spec scripts for fictional businesses, written to show how we approach different industries and audiences.

Anatomy of a spot
What’s happening in thirty seconds.
Every script we write follows the same rough shape. It’s not a formula — it’s a checklist that keeps a spot from wandering.
0s
The hook
A sound, a line of dialogue or a question that makes someone stop tuning out. Three to five seconds.
5s
The problem
Something the listener recognizes from their own life — the leak, the noise, the overdue appointment.
15s
The answer
Your business, and the one reason it’s the right call. Not five reasons. One.
25s
The ask
Name, where, what to do next. Said clearly, often twice. Easy to remember while driving.
Behind the scenes
Where the work happens.
A look at the kind of sessions that go into every project — writing, recording, composing and mixing.
