MY 100 WORDS----Headlines Still Make All the Impact

We are clearly a distracted nation. And because of that, we want impact in succinct, simple terms.

Like a headline.

At BENMARadio, we use 'headlines' liberally to create interest in our spots. That means opening a two voice spot with, ‘I want it.’ That means opening a straight single voice read with, 'If Bill Gates called (SFX: PHONE RING)  to talk computers, what would you say?’ It can also mean opening with a music stab,  sound effect or even---gasp--silence.


Headlines work in print and online. Radio has its’ own version. So---grab some attention--- then work your magic.
