None!
“We live in a world of words. Our memos are written in words; our emails are written in words; our (texts) are written in words.”
“Yet, there are no words in your mind.”
“There are only sounds.”
That’s a quote from Al Ries in Ad Age.
It’s the singular advantage Radio has always owned, but rarely uses today.
NPR does a good job with sound, and I struggle to think of one other example in American commercial radio that treats sound with the respect it deserves on a consistent basis.
It’s the definition of irony.
A medium that is only heard pays no mind to sound as the essence of its attempt to communicate with listeners.
Not for our clients, not for our listeners.
