Two Men and a Mom, WRAL-FM, Raleigh The Cookie Tank

High level performers can creatively bring two Hot Topics together for presentation.  Enter Two Men and a Mom, WRAL-FM, Raleigh who recognized something must be done with girl scout cookie sales, given they’re hanging out at the entrance to every grocery store.  Often, we default to the standard ideas we’ve done before.  If fun and focused on one scout and her story, that can actually work.  These guys always push themselves for some new angle.  So, they brought together that topic along with listeners knowledge of the TV show Shark Tank.  They invited one girl scout to come on and pitch her cookies (that’s the standard idea) by placing her in The Cookie Tank to do the same (fresh angle).  There’s nothing revolutionary about this break, but it’s an interesting frame because it leads to a production value that starts things that repositions it as fresh, fun, and real – the show plot – and sets us apart in the market from all the same old ideas being done by everyone else.
