How often when you ask a child, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" do they respond with "I want to make commercials."
I may have been the first.... 😅
If you are from South Dakota, I am sure you remember the "don't thump your melon" campaign for helmet safety by Monument Health formerly Rapid City Regional Hospital...
I present to the people, a photo of my very first unsolicited and unofficial marketing campaign for "don't thump your melon". I really wish I could find the commercial I forced my grandmother to film for me. I have always been intrigued by television and film. Particularly commercials. As this picture demonstrates, I was an odd child.
I somehow convinced my kid sister she needed to be involved in the production of these commercials for local businesses I wrote, directed, and filmed purely for my own entertainment (I am fairly certain my parents were quite entertained as well🤣).
.....
Yes. that is a real melon I carved out and added straps to.
Next question, please.
