CPR Promotional Check-Up - Oct 6, 2022

The Inflation Station

You have to be really careful with working terms like “Recession” and “Inflation” into group contesting monikers or themes. Because it will just bring everyone down.

But an Alpha PD may have just figured out how to walk that tightrope. He’s using “The Inflation Station” as their group contest name but they’re not just “adjusting for inflation” the prize from $1000 to $2000, but when they give away pairs of tickets they’ll add one and it will be three tix that you win, and they’re imaging their increased length of music sweeps under that them too. Just the money wouldn’t have been enough: the tickets and the music completed it.

A Halloween Gallery That Might Not Yet Have Been Done

By Radio at least. There are lots of image collections of sibs recreating pics from their youth. Cool. Do that with Halloween costumes.

The Fake Film Festival

This was a Virgin Radio promotion from Vancouver with big cash prizes for the best recreations of scenes from movies…in 60 seconds. Vancouver is a film town so the quality of the entries they got was insane.

Anybody with an iPhone can quickly do that. Definitely not to that level but it can be done. So lob out five scary scenes and see what the audience can do for Halloween.

Project Down & Dirty

myTalk 107.1 in the Twin Cities has an amazing “event” that they do every year and it’s essentially taking the concept of reality TV and inviting the audience to follow as the hosts of their fur shows….create something. They created a restaurant once and in a week created a menu, learned to cook and then served two sold out sittings, all for charity.

They did a campy 1970’s era musical and again, in a week, learned to sing, play instruments and dance with the help of some very esteemed local musicians who were their coaches.

This year, the four duos with write, act and shoot four short comedy films and these will be screened tomorrow night to two sold out movie theaters.

Ticket sales and individual donations to the talent’s individual charities all go to great, AMAZING…wait for it….local…groups and organizations. Project Down & Dirty: Film Fest (mytalk1071.com)
