Creative PR is developing a series of print/online ads for Current based on their new branding campaign, “Keep Current” (see two examples above). Also, Creative PR is redesigning Current’s media kit to include their new online advertising offerings, technical specs, and a new visual design.
We are thrilled to be a partner with Current to expand their new branding campaign!
“From Soup to Nuts”Logistics:
The Course:
Through lectures, group discussion, Q & A, written handouts, and lots of audio demos, this two-day class will explore the ins and outs of creating a long-form radio documentary. Designed to meet the needs of mid-level producers, this seminar will also be accessible to individuals who have little or no experience in radio production.
Compelling audio documentary incorporates a creative weave of elements including narration, interviews, music, vérité scenes, character portraits, dramatizations, performances, archival tape and ambience beds. Students learn how these elements serve to paint a picture in sound.
Emphasis will be put on the production process. To this end, the class will examine the steps of concept development, research, pre-production, recording techniques, interviewing, writing, organizing tape, scripting, editing and mixing required to create an audio documentary.
Most importantly, we will focus on the art of storytelling. We will discuss dramatic structure, taking the listener through introduction, development and resolution of a story. And we will explore how character development brings the listener to the heart of the story.

L.A. Theatre Works invites you to revisit -
Starring John Heard as Ben Bradlee, Susan Sullivan as Katherine Graham, and Gregory Harrison as Brian Kelly.
In the late 1960′s, a classified government study of the Vietnam War revealed that the U.S. had misled the public regarding its intentions in Southeast Asia. Yet the Nixon administration continued to paint an optimistic picture of the war effort while sending more and more young Americans into the conflict. One of the document’s contributors, Daniel Ellsburg, decided that the public needed to know the truth about Vietnam, and leaked the study to the press. The result shook America to its core and challenged the First Amendment.
Plus! – Both hours include panel discussions with key figures from the era of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, including journalist Carl Bernstein, former White House counsel John Dean, and Daniel Ellsburg himself.
