Crafting Channel-Stopping Messages

What is the value of direct response if the buying public does not respond to your campaign?

The Cesari Direct creative department’s specialty is designing branded communications – long and short form television plus radio, print and online interactive - that powerfully motivate viewers and listeners to take action. We build channel-stopping campaigns.

And, a critical part of the package is you! We actively involve our clients in the creative and scripting process from the very beginning of the project in helping us tell your product and business story. Together, we craft a “sizzling offer.” We utilize a combination of exciting product demonstrations, engaging consumer and expert testimonials, animation and originally scored music to compellingly sell your merchandise. Most importantly, we listen to our client's direction, feed off their passion for their terrific product and combine that with the artistic and technical abilities of our entire creative team.

Ron Lynch, who leads that team in his role as Cesari Direct’s Chief Creative Officer, is a recognized industry leader in bolting a product’s unique selling proposition to the framework of consumer desire. Lynch’s expertise is mixing pace and timing while showcasing a product’s specific value to produce the crystallizing moment that turns your irresistible message from “oooh” to “ahhh.” This is your product’s magical switch that captivates customers and creates their “I’ve got to have that” feeling. .

The Cesari Direct creative team accomplishes this goal by continually implementing a set of logical reasons that generate an emotional urgency to buy. All are based on understanding the makeup of the audience, establishing the credibility and value of your product and then making it personally satisfying for somebody else.

While dazzling features typically tell the story, actual benefits make the sale. It’s still true – “features tell, but the benefits sell". you show us the steak, we’ll bring out the sizzle.” Buying decisions often are emotional but consumers will rarely pull the trigger on a “call to action” unless the information provided during the entire presentation has been rational and credible. Establishing immediate integrity is crucial to the success of any campaign, especially for a product or concept that is being introduced to the consumer for the first time. It’s always impressive to have potential customers state “I would have never thought of that” yet it is important for you and the Cesari Direct creative team to convey how, when and why you got there.

“Rick Cesari and his business have a formula for success that has been demonstrated many times over. In our industry, there are very few people that can say that.”
