Transcript

Chris Hanna 0:00Alright guys, it’s time to introduce today’s special guest!

Future Chris 0:06Hello podcasters of the past I’m honored to be back in this the year 2020.

Chris Hanna 0:11Welcome to the show, Future Chris! did you have any trouble finding the place and or time?

Sam McKinney 0:16Chris, you can’t be your own special guest. You’re breaking every rule of space time.

John Fish 0:20Yeah man, and like several rules of podcasting.

Chris Hanna 0:23Sorry, I just got inspired by today’s time traveling product from the world’s favorite wizarding franchise.

John Fish 0:29All right, Lord of the Rings!

No, Harry Potter. Now say goodbye to Future Chris before existence as we know it ends.

Chris Hanna 0:37Fine. See you soon, you handsome devil you!

Welcome back to ADtempted, where we make ads for things that don’t really need them. I’m Chris and I’m a copy wiz.

I’m Sam and I think art is magical.

John Fish 0:52I’m John and i write things.

Chris Hanna 0:55Today’s actual special guest is a big friend of the podcast whose kick ass copywriting skills are surpassed only by her passion for all things Harry Potter, and maybe also the Ohio State Buckeyes. Andi Hendrickson, welcome to ADtempted!

Andi Hendrickson 1:11Hi guys. Happy to be here.

Chris Hanna 1:13Yay!

John Fish 1:14As always, here’s the game plan. We’re going to start by sharing our insights and thoughts starters. And then we’ll collaborate on a direction execute a campaign and finally presented to you our audience. What’s the product today, Andi?

Andi Hendrickson 1:26Today we’re going to be tackling Time Turner’s from Harry Potter. For all you muggles out there, the Time Turner is a magical device that allows the user to travel back in time. The more you twist, the farther back you go. There are limits however, so that the fabric of time will stay intact and that you-know-who can never return. Featured prominently in the Prisoner of Azkaban, the device has great potential for good, or evil, or for a much longer nap. And today, we’re going to be targeting the general population, but we’re also challenging ourselves to come up with some non traditional uses for the Time Turner.

Sam McKinney 2:01Just so you guys know, time travel is a complicated subject filled with paradoxical nuances that we don’t have time to explore. So here are some basic ground rules that we are following. The rest, we aren’t worried about. One, they can only travel back in time a maximum of five hours. Two, it will not allow you to change past events, and three, you cannot interact directly with yourself.

Chris Hanna 2:21Wait, it only goes back five hours. I thought it let you go to any time for five hours.

Ah, shoot, me too. Guess my insights might get cut for time. Dang.

Snape 2:35Mysterious thing, time. Powerful, and when meddled with, dangerous.

Chris Hanna 2:43Alrighty Sam, why don’t you kick us off.

Sam McKinney 2:45Alright, my first insight: having trouble finding a nice babysitter you can trust? With a Time Turner, You can just be your own babysitter. Go out, have your fun, but also spend time with your children. It’s the best of both worlds. Next one is: accidentally break your grandmother’s priceless heirloom? Robbed a magical bank run by goblins? Murdered a sniveling classmate? Give yourself an alibi with a Time Turner. You couldn’t have been the one who did it if you were over at Billy’s the whole time.

Chris Hanna 3:12I like the idea of like, “Oh no, I just robbed a magical bank run by goblins, whatever will I do?”
