Spots and promos are essential elements in the radio mix. Spots build frequency for a brand and are often used for generic messages. Promos support brand storytelling as a call to action device. Creatrix has produced spots and promos from brief to broadcast in eleven South African languages.

Sasol Airs Bird Book
