Here's the text of the radio ad:

(Sung) Ollie Days are here again! The bargain king is your best friend. With deals so good, you're gonna win. Ollie Days are here again!

(Spoken) At Ollie's Bargain Outlet, we're celebrating our customer appreciation bargain bonanza where everything in our store is 15% off. And we mean everything! And guess what? All patio furniture is 25% off. But you better shop now! Ollie Days absolutely ends Saturday, June 29th. Ollies! Good stuff cheap! 

By now you know that Ollie's Bargain Outlet has GOOD. STUFF. CHEAP. And once a year, everything - and we mean everything - gets even CHEAPER! That magical time of year is known as "Ollie Days" - Ollie's annual customer appreciation bargain bonanza, where everything in the store is an extra 15% off. What's not to love about that?!

To celebrate the occasion, Ollie's wants to transform this radio ad into a :30 broadcast video to help promote the savings extravaganza and get people into their stores. Some changes will obviously be required to do that, but they still plan to use the jingle, and the messaging will be consistent as well. The main point that Ollie's wants to get across is that everything in the store is 15% off!

Your concept must incorporate the "Ollie" character - and while you cannot change his physical appearance, you can animate him and put in him different outfits, costumes, and environments. When developing your concept, you should think about Ollie's established animation style (see Assets tab) and check out this holiday broadcast spot created by the Tongal community. The final video derived from these concepts will be a mix of animation and in-store live-action footage.

  

EXPOSURE: Broadcast TV

 

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Women; 34-65+
• Value Seekers, bargain shoppers, treasure hunting shoppers for BRAND name merchandise at up to 70% off the fancy store prices.

• Ollie's tagline - "Good Stuff Cheap” - will be the slogan at the end of the video.

NOTE: We're testing a new feature on projects like this. In addition to the 5 concepts that the Sponsor will be selecting, five additional submissions will be selected for Honorable Mention, and each will receive $50 for the great creative work that went into them. Submissions selected for Honorable Mention will not be used by the client, and not all submissions identified as Finalists will receive an Honorable Mention.

Tell us your Concept in 250 characters or fewer. Remember, a concept is not a detailed script - it is a spark of inspiration or distillation of what will happen in the video. As always, concepts should be clever and engaging.
