Radio for Music People Fundraising Campaign Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-1 These spots comprise our predrive and drive production pieces for our record breaking Radio For Music People campagin. We focused on the music is what you're supporting. WTMD is the steward of your support for music and people who make it. We added over 650 ...about 1% of our cume...new members. This was a record breaking drive. We chalk it up to staying on message and music focused. Feel Free to use/modify/steal/improve. The pieces come in two lengths. Short and long. The shorter pieces were used pre drive and during the drive to generate contributions and to set the tone of the drive. The Longer pieces were used during the drive as stand alone pitches or as intro to live pitching. We used montages of emotional comments about various artits, albums and songs. You'll hear voices from WTMD staff, members, volunteers and others. We wanted it to speak from the heart and be human. We wanted listeners to identify with the comments in an emotional connection that inspired them to think of WTMD as the station that keeps them engaged with music, art and world around them.

Review of Radio For Music People-WTMD's Feb 2006

What an incredible body of work from WTMD! These 39 spots are successful because they succinctly tell a story, evoke an emotion, and provide listeners with a way to give. The spots are well produced with relevant clips of music that could have been overdone, but weren?t. These spots range from laugh out loud funny to moving. Be sure to check out #4 Born to Run, #7 Clash and #10 Driving Music. WTMD should be held up as an example, not just for Triple-A stations, but for all of us on how to execute an effective listener testimonial.
