***  Weekly Piracy Report

 

***  One Paragraph Pitch:

 

They’re your communications. Why can’t they be interesting?

 

Experienced advertising writer desires to bring new life to your messaging.  What you’re saying is important.  So let’s make sure the information you present is relevant, relatable—and yes, interesting—to the people who need to hear it.

 

I’m comfortable writing and conceptualizing in all media on a wide range of subjects.  As a freelancer, I can work hourly or on a project basis, whichever works best with your budget, as I do for agencies and clients scattered across the country.

 

See examples of my advertising writing and strategic thinking at www.bobkochuk.com.  If something in particular appeals, I’m happy to provide context and the story behind the project.

 

Let’s say bye-bye to the boring blah, blah, blah of most communications.  You can contact me at bkochuk@gmail.com  or call 919.358.4300.

 

Oh, and thank you for reading this far.

***  From Adrants:

 

On the innocence of childhood. And the power of that innocence as leverage marketers can use to get people to buy stuff. Phrased that way, it makes ads featuring kids seem crass. But thankfully, most ads featuring kids are simply beautiful. Like this one for Turkish Airlines.

 

http://www.adrants.com/2014/04/watch-these-kids-build-an-airport-in.php?advD=1384,9120

 

***  Unsolved:

 

On Feb. 27, 1978, over 36 years ago, at approximately 12:45am near the Plough & Stars, 912 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA,  Julie campbell was stabbed multiple times and left to die in a snowbank.  Julie was only 23 years old at the time.  Julie’s family was originally from Lexington, MA.

 

Julie is the sister of my friend Clay Campbell, who I know from my Boy Scout days.  Clay is very close to my friend Larry Beafield, who I also know from my Boy Scout days.  In fact, Clay and I travelled from Colotadao and Virginia repectively to see Larry rceieve the Daniel Carter Beard award from the Newton Masonic Lodge for service to Scouting several weeks ago.

 

Julie’s murder has remained a Cold Case… just like so many that you see on TV reality shows nowadays.  But unlike TV – this one’s still unsolved and unfortunately, Clay’s parents and his younger brother have all passed on – never knowing.

 

Bob Ward, Boston’s FOX25 crime reporter, aired this story on the case a week ago:

 

http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/25353631/new-englands-unsolved-julie-campbell

 

Clay and Larry have formed “Committee” to bring attention to the case. “At this stage it’s relatively straightforward – we’d like to have the evidence file reopened by the Middlesex County DA’s Office and subjected to modern day forensic technologies,” says Larry.  “36 years is a long time – so who knows what may be uncovered.”

 

There is a website – JulieCampbellMurder.com – and a Facebook page  (Julie Campbell Unsolved Murder).

 

Thanks to Larry for making this information available.
