Over the course of a year, I wrote about thirty radio ads for Chemist Warehouse, promoting a broad range of vitamin products for many of the most recognisable brands in the category.
I’ve included a few of my favourites here, chosen as I was able to nudge the envelope ever so slightly, injecting some much needed creativity into a very formulaic format.
It’s also worth noting that for the spots that contained musical ideas, I was able to go home and produce them in my home studio, before returning to the agency the next morning, with piping-hot tracks in my oven-mitted hands.
