    Happy Friday, everyone!

    Here is this week's poll question:

    Do you personally produce commercials for your accounts (or others)?   Approximately how many commercials per week do you personally produce?

    Looking forward to reading your answers!

    Totally depends on the week. Slower weeks I probably push through three to five and busier weeks it might be upwards of ten. I usually have 20+ clients airing each month and only a very few provide their own copy.

    I produce at least 20 COMMERCIALS per week ! I do half of them and have the others produced in FLA. Its imperative

    that the commercials be produced the best that they can be. For the Radio Station and the Customer !

    I generally write 2,000 to 3,000 commercials each year for my client stations.  The actual production is done by the stations themselves.

    I write the commercials for 80% of my clients. I do the actual voice over for about 25%.

    I personally produce, (in addition to write) commercials both for myself and others, but try to do this very rarely.  Probably once every 10 days or so this happens because getting spot on air tomorrow is required for a variety of reasons the most legitimate of which is more billing for that week, month. Those instances where I need a finished product tomorrow does me no favors with my Production Dept. so, I produce myself. I will also from time to time do production for stations in the SAS network. As for writing copy, I do all of that myself and on a given week will probably write 2 to 3 ads.

    I write most of the copy for my clients. Typically I leave the actual production up to those who are better at it than I. I probably write at least 5 commercials per week, to air or as spec spots.

    I write most of the ads for my clients but do not produce any. I do record client voice work but it will be produced by another. On average, I have 45 clients on air each month with 1-4 ads per client each month. The weekly average will vary.

    I produce at least 5 ads in a week. But depending on the clients calendar of event I go up to 10.Recently my client was selling shares to the public( Initial Public Offer) , we recorded 14 radios spots, and count downs. This week I will record 10 spots for Christmas  road safety campaign. I have written the scripts, and I will voice them with Christmas music in the background. For the motor cycle riders , in mass market I will use the Xmas reggae music, I wish you an aire arie xmas , hallelu-jah!
