LBS Creative Expert, Tim Burt, takes LIVE broadcaster questions!  In this session:

  • Can you give an example for a dentist using the subway system?
  • How might a formula like this work for things like bars/restaurants/beer/liquor where the pain point isn't quite so dramatic as the examples shared.
  • What do you recommend if a client does NOT meet the three requirements? For example, they are just looking to increase awareness, wanting something more creative/humorous, recruitment, etc.
  • What is something you feel broadcasters need to focus on creatively that may not be focused on enough?
