The Most Memorable Radio Advertisement Ever Produced

Показать описание
Tony Schwartz produced more than 26,000+ radio spots, won every award in the books, and became known as media central in New York. A one-man band creator who threatened large corporations and institutions with his simple radio commercials.

He was one of my first mentors and I learned a great deal about how to communicate from Tony. His two books, Media: The Second God and The Responsive Chord are classics for students learning media communications and production.

In his time he worked for hundreds of organizations including the New York City Police Department and the fire department. This radio spot is a perfect example of his genius. It is so simple and yet so effective. As I said in this video, my wife and I never forgot the message after hearing it once and it helps save our home when it was about to burn in a fire which began in my studio, destroyed much of my archive, but did not destroy our home. Had she not closed the door, all would have been lost.

Tony also produced hundreds or radio and television spots for political candidates, both Republicans and Democrats. You can search his name on my YouTube channel to see examples of his work.

Whether you are beginning a career in video or filmmaking or a seasoned pro, Tony shares advice that will provoke you to be a better more effective communicator.

I was so touched by every part of this video. That policeman left a legacy through his words. Tony Schwartz left a legacy through his work and the emotions he evoked. David Hoffman is leaving a legacy by helping people remember humanity and the lessons of the past. Your content and messages are always brilliant, David! I think you’re a genius!

I had never seen or heard the "Close the Door" clip. I doubt if I would have thought to close the door if I had a fire but I expect I will never forget it now. This should be remade and rerun now.

TBH, they need to put the “Close the Door” advertisement back on the air because I didn’t know about that.

I was so confused about why this only had 26 views and then I saw that it's unlisted- so that's why I never got a notification about it.

A powerful video covering a lot of topics in a short time. Smoking, friendship, closing the door if there is a fire. It would be hard to forget closing the door after seeing that.A mentor is someone most of us need sometimes. The speech was very good. Thanks for making this video.

Thought provoking piece as usual, David. Thank you. Times haven’t changed. In politics, people assume the worst in others. In person, they assume the best. I wonder if people still think Barry Goldwater would have caused the annihilation of the planet?
