Are You Mediocre?

A colleague who knows I appreciate this sort of thing passed along the following quote today:

"Mediocre advertising is bad for any business. It defines you as a mediocre company. And you spend money to do it - money that any business could clearly better allocate."

- Kenneth Cole.

Consider that from a radio perspective.

"Mediocre advertising is bad for any business. It defines you as a mediocre company."

Your imaging is your advertising.
Is it mediocre?

Your promotions are your advertising.
Are they mediocre?

Your remotes are your advertising.
Are they mediocre?

YOUR STATION *IS* YOUR ADVERTISING.
Are you mediocre?

Think About It:

  • Is The Big-Voice Promo Dead?:   I know more divorced radio guys writing bad copy for female radio. I recently heard a promo for an iPod giveaway with phrases like 'The 21'st century digital random revolution'. ...WHAT?!?!?

  • Exclusive Content:   How many songs have been sung about radio sweepers? How many movies have been made about jingle packages? How many people have called in to say that a promo helped them get through a sleepless night?

  • I Say NO To HD:   Radio needs to build passion for the medium again! What radio does NOT need is H freaking D.
