Learning Waves Skillnet is delighted to partner again with GoCreate Academy to deliver the Diploma in Creative Radio Advertising which is accredited by the London College of Music.  The network delivered the programme in 2017 and the course has now been updated to provide those working in commercial radio production.  The course aims to improve the creative advertising skills across the sector by focussing on the core areas of sound manipulation, copywriting, sonic
branding, communication and production. This course gives you the tools to create great radio commercials, for broadcast, online, social and aggregate/blended campaigns. In essence the course will show you :

  • How to guarantee your ideas win clients over and gets them to say YES.
  • How to create radio commercials that just beg to be listened to.
  • Why confusing radio commercials with press advertising kills business.
  • How to influence your listeners on a subliminal level (& unlock their subconscious).
  • Become a confident and persuasive speaker.
  • How to gain an industry awarded and industry endorsed qualification in creative radio advertising.

Course Content

The course consists of 8 modules which include extra video tutorials, live webinars, podcasts and peer support throughout your online learning. The modules that are included are as follows:

  • Module 1: Introduction to Creative Radio Advertising
  • Module 2: Branding with Sound
  • Module 3: Creative Writing
  • Module 4: Production & Editing Techniques
  • Module 5 : Creative Resources
  • Module 6: Voice Production and Management
  • Module 7: Briefing for Radio Creatives
  • Module 8 : Pitching and Presenting to Clients

Creative Radio Advertising involves many different skillsets. This course develops understanding in each area through interactive workshops, online content and real-life case studies. At the end of this course, producers can submit two audio artefacts, then partake in an informal online interview to gain the University Award DipLCM - with the right to use those letters after their name.

Places are limited to 15 on the course and those who are interested in participating in the course can register their interest here.
