The opening seconds
Give the listener a recognisable idea quickly. A distinctive opening and one clear proposition are more useful than a list of selling points.
Capital is Global’s hit-music brand, with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby at breakfast. For a campaign, we would start with the message people should remember and the listening occasions worth reaching. The creative needs an immediate idea and a clear response, rather than trying to imitate the station’s presenters.
