The problem gets a voice

When the bottle or the pipe is talking, people stay to hear what it says next.

An original song about your users

Jingle lyrics come from the same research as every other ad, so the song carries a real angle.

Lip-sync that holds

The vocal track drives every singing take, so the mouth matches the song.

Questions

About Mascot & character ads

Do we need an existing mascot?

It helps, but we can design one in the same project, or make the problem itself the character.

What do we get with a mascot jingle ad?

An original song, a full music video for organic and brand, and 60- and 30-second ad cuts for paid. It is $750 on its own, or $500 added to any package.
