Veriheal commercialVeriheal · Broadcast spot

So, I certainly hesitated at first about getting my medical marijuana card. I knew what the advantages were, but there was a lot of unknown. Veriheal helps connect you with a medical professional who can answer your questions. Veriheal has helped over a quarter million patients get their medical cards nationwide. Veriheal helps patients get their medical marijuana card by basically facilitating the whole process.

I would recommend Veriheal to get your card based on the quick access to doctors. You're able to get your money back if you don't get approved. I would tell someone who's considering using Veriheal to stop hesitating and do it. They will put you in touch with a doctor you can trust, and you will end up having a medical marijuana card that's going to benefit you in more ways than you know. Many are curious if they would even qualify. So, why not have the conversation with a medical professional? Get approved, or your money back.

Whole Foods Market: bike build giveawayWhole Foods Market · Commercial

Whole Foods Market in the Rocky Mountain region came together with Can'd Aid here in Longmont to help build bikes, 113 bikes, to give to kids at Northridge Elementary and make it really special for this Longmont opening. This is the first time we've ever done anything on this large of a scale. Whole Foods wanted to really kick off their opening and do something with a bang here in the community, and I think this is a great way to do that. We got to put on one of the coolest events our team has ever been a part of.

These kids have no idea what's being done on a Saturday morning. It's going to be a surprise. They're going to show up and they're not going to know what's happening that day. What an awesome celebration and a great surprise for our students to get these bikes. To me, that's more the reward, seeing their faces when they actually receive it. It's fun to see. I mean, there's a baby that's two months old, there's people here with their dogs. It's fun to see a lot of the young kids, because they're giving back to the community, and that's what it's all about.

Seeing all the people that came out today and volunteering was incredible. We had kids and bikes and old people, young people, entire families came out. We were expecting 40 volunteers, but we ended up having over 100 volunteers. To see the look on their faces when they know these bikes are for them, I'm at a loss for words. Our children knew they were going on a surprise field trip.

They had no idea where they were going, so when they came in they were pretty overwhelmed. My earliest memories are on my bike, so to be able to offer that to these kids, that's a big deal. See the smile on their faces, it's awesome. For some of them this will be the best Christmas ever. Seeing the parents who were so grateful. It was probably the most spectacular opening event I've been a part of. It was just really a super big blessing for our children.

Room to Read and IMC at the Team Liquid 24-hour eventRoom to Read · Nonprofit campaign video

It is an honor to partner with IMC and be a part of Team Liquid's amazing 24-hour event. Room to Read is a global organization focused on creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality through education. We're proud to have benefited more than 23 million children globally through our literacy and girls' education programs. IMC support has helped Room to Read expand our work in Africa and equip hundreds of schools with libraries, teaching materials, and quality learning environments. Together, we've been able to ignite the love of learning in millions of children. Please enjoy a closer look at our literacy program and witness the meaningful change it has created across Tanzania and South Africa.

You walk into a classroom that's supported by Room to Read, you'll find a print-rich environment, exciting posters on the wall for children to see. You'll find teachers who are committed to preparing their lessons, taking children through it in a structured way. Room to Read also has a library component as part of the work we do. We partner with local communities to create vibrant, child-friendly libraries. It's really important for children to have access to libraries that have books that they want to read, in both English and their home languages.

On behalf of Room to Read Tanzania, I would like to express my deep thanks for your support. Since 2012, we have touched the lives of more than 2 million young ladies. I'm grateful to be able to witness this life-changing work each day, as I see the students unlock their full potential through education and the opportunities it provides for them, their families, and their communities.

The last 18 months have not been easy, but we learned and exercised resilience. IMC made it possible for students to learn at home through methods such as radio and TV broadcasts when schools were closed. Your continued investment will help us conquer the learning crisis that our most vulnerable children face. Once again, thank you.

I'm inspired by the messages we've heard from the leaders of our programs in South Africa and Tanzania during this particularly difficult time. As the pandemic continues to impact accessibility to education, now is the time to rally in support of vulnerable children. On behalf of Room to Read, I express deep gratitude for your support. Your generous donation will ensure that education endures for students across the world.

Questions

Before you ask.

How much does a commercial cost to produce?

A 30-second animated spot starts around $6,500. A one-day live-action shoot with a small crew, plus edit, color, sound, and the cutdowns, typically lands in the low to mid five figures depending on cast, locations, and licensing. We fix the number after one discovery call.

How long does a commercial take?

About twelve weeks from kickoff to delivery on our normal clock, three weeks a stage: planning, script, storyboard, then the shoot or animation and post. A rush is possible; call and we will tell you the date we can hit.

Do you handle music licensing and talent releases?

Yes. We license music for the media you plan to run, from web-only to national broadcast, and we handle talent releases and usage terms so the spot can run where you bought the airtime.

Can one shoot produce several ads?

Yes, and it should. We plan the shoot day around a family of cuts: the hero spot, a fifteen, two bumpers, and vertical versions for social. One day of production, a full quarter of media.

Animated or live action for a commercial?

Animated when the product is software, data, or an idea, and when you need it fast without a crew. Live action when the brand is people and place. The LogRhythm spots here are animated; Whole Foods and Veriheal are live action.
