The client, Mercedes, has asked E6 radio to produce an advertisement for their new Mercedes CLA class to promote it to the target audience of adult males. The advertisement will provide a detailed description of the car's specifications and extras in an appealing way to encourage sales. It will be a 40 second to 1 minute script read by a female voice actor with sound effects. The unique selling point emphasized will be the free internet access and MP3 compatibility upgrade included. The total budget for production and distribution agreed upon between Mercedes and E6 radio is £1580.
