RADIO COMMERCIALS AND JINGLES
Apart from full-length (15/30/60 minutes) radio programmes, Ameen has also been producing short audio commercials of various lengths – mainly 15 to 60 seconds (or longer, for certain special categories) – for stations all over the world.
Most of the commercials – over 20,000 of them since 1951 – have been for CONSUMER PRODUCTS. But there have also been other services and events that he has promoted, such as :
-
FEATURE FILMS
Mostly 30 seconders, but increasing to between 60 seconds and 3 minutes for “radio trailers” and “sponsored songs”.
-
LIVE SHOWS and CONCERT TOURS
He still does a large number of 60 to 90 second “spots” for almost all the Bollywood mega shows that travel to North America and Europe.
-
SIGNATURE JINGLES / SONGS FOR INDIAN RADIO STATIONS ABROAD
The texture of these jingles (and, of course, all commercials exported) normally matches the contemporary culture of the Asian Community in the foreign country where the station is running.
-
EVENTS
Like Industrial Fairs, Cricket (and other sports) Matches, Independence Day Parades, Circuses, etc.
-
COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS AND SERVICES
Shops, Restaurants, Amusement Parks, Banks, Music Companies, Book Publishers, Airlines, Travel Agencies, etc.
