Radio Ink Editor Ed Ryan will host a special webinar with bestselling author Tim Miles. Tim is a partner at Roy Williams' Wizard of Ads and CEO of The Imagination Advisory Group.

In this 45-minute webinar Miles will reveal secrets and techniques he's successfully deployed with radio clients all over the country.
51. LISTEN
“When you can, always advise people
to do what you see they really want
to do, so long as what they want to do
isn’t dangerously unlawful, stupidly
unsocial, or obviously impossible.
Doing what they want to do, they
may succeed; doing what they don’t
want to do, they won’t.”
52. UNCOVER
your client’s uncompromising values. What do
they stand for? What do they stand against?
Advertising’s about making choices.
Make one.
Positioning Wedge
55. ANSWER
1. What is the common denominator of
all the people we’re trying to attract?
2. What attracted them to that
denominator?
3. What is their great frustration /
unscratched itch?
56. SHOW Don’t tell.
Dramatize the benefit.
I don’t give a fig about your great
customer service.
What does it mean to me?
How does it make me feel?
Show me that.
57. COLOR
your ads with emotions.
Enliven with words and images
fat with association.
63. AMPLIFY
“Ask a witness, ‘How fast were the cars going
when they smashed into each other?’ and
they will name a much higher speed than if
they are asked, ‘How fast were the cars going
when they made contact?’”
- MATT CRENSON, Associated Press
64. FIND
a rhythm. Put on a piece of instrumental
music. Let it guide you in your writing.
Be daring. Choose an atypical piece for
fierce contrast.
65. READ
As you read, so shall you write.
"If you don't have time to read, you don't have
the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."
- Stephen King
67. REMEMBER
None of this is rocket science.
Work hard. Keep at it.
Live simply and quietly.
Remain humble. Stay positive.
Create your own luck.
Be nice. Be polite.
- Hugh MacLeod
