Creative unity. Creative aspects of the national radio campaign should be blended with the total advertising effort. Theme and copy of the commercials should be compatible with the copy used in other media. The magazine or newspaper headline, the television blurb should be adapted to the radio ap
proach.
These themes can be translated excitingly in sound, using the kinds of music, sound effects and narrative to give maximum aural illustration to the copy points.
A creative advantage that radio offers is that the music, narrative or humor can be flavored with particular regional characteristics.
The Young radio proposal reccommends that once the copy approach is decided on it should be

In-car listener. Effective radio use by car companies would naturally be molded to take advantage of that wonderfully captive audience, the car radio listener. More new cars are equipped with radios today (90%) than with automatic transmissions (75%).
Frequencies should vary by monthly periods to adapt advertising pressure to sales. October and November, 40 to 50 announcements a week; December and January, 25 to 35 a week; February through July, 40 to 50; August, 25 to 35 a week, and September, 40 to 50 a week.
