VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[Tom Test]

Hello Gang,

I just got a call from an old poker buddy who happens to work at an ad agency. He has a client - a major regional sporting event stadium - who is doing 3 x :30 "pre-rolls." That was a new term to me. "Pre-rolls" are spots that run before you see a longer video on the web - like if you watch a trailer on rottentomatoes.com, you have to sit through a :30 spot before the trailer runs.

I've never done anything quite like this, so I'm coming here hoping for guidance. I have done short podcasts for Shell and Butterball Turkey at $500 a crack, but that seem too high for this. I don't want to overcharge my client or underpay myself. He seems to not be overly sensitive to price, which is NICE.

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Did you win when playing poker?

Go with your gut. Rates for internet spots are actually higher than some broadcast markets per spot (R.E.: AFTRA). New Media is becoming more popular and the fees are commensurate.

Be good to yourself.
