Brief Explanation
We used the radio medium in the two hours before lunch and dinner time with copy telling simple but tasty recipes. The natural limits of the radio in suggesting food appeal have been overcome by the executions: with sounds recorded during recipes’ preparation and words evoking flavours, we stimulate imagination and Olfactory perception, making people feel hungry and desire an appealing meal that makes everyday special.
