Belief: Fiction is entertaining, but truth hits you right between the eyes.
Background: Blaine is a national-award winning Creative Director and copywriter whose career focus has been small business. He's helped build ROI for hundreds of local businesses across the country. In the process, he's twice been honored with the Radio Mercury Award (essentially the Oscars of radio advertising), as well as dozens of other awards. At the same time, he has done plenty of work for big brands you know and might even love.
As Honey likes to say, Blaine has the voice of a much taller man and can be heard pitching many of those businesses--as well as national advertisers--on broadcast stations from coast to coast. A member of SAG-AFTRA, Blaine has appeared in national campaigns for brands like Bud Light, State Farm Auto Insurance, Air Touch Cellular, Coldwell Banker, TJ Maxx, Furniture Row, Little Caesar's Pizza, GoToMeeting and Cheez-Its. As a regular voiceover performer for NBC TV, he has been heard on NBC owned & operated stations across the country and recently ended a two-year run as the voice of Papa John's Pizza in the UK. He also has ongoing relationships with South State Bank and New York Life Investments.
Besides demonstrating an acerbic copywriting wit that has served many advertisers well, Blaine has developed a special skill at what he calls Reality Marketing Media. Getting business owners and their customers to open up in candid conversations, then sifting through hours of recorded material, he creates pithy, potent messages in the advertiser's or customer's own words. The result is genuine, authentic and resonant.
Blaine's previous lives include stand-up comic, film production footsoldier, Hollywood screenwriter, and professional yacht bum. A graduate of Boston University, Blaine is also an amateur pizzaiolo as well as brewmaster for the Short & Busty Brewing label.
Parting thought: Redundancy often bears repeating.
