How to write a Jingle
Writing a jingle is not unlike writing a pop song. It’s usually hook laden and stamps a concise lyrical message in the mind of the listener. The process however, is unique to each writer / composer. Some writers start with a piano or guitar part, while others begin with a strong lyrical concept. Whatever your process is, the goal of marrying sticky chorus’s with the company’s ‘meat and potato’ filled verses has been a staple to most jingles for decades.
What are the usual guidelines when writing jingles?
Ad agencies give writers certain parameters when creating a jingle. Some aspects to keep in mind are the following:
- The style of music
- The words that needs to appear in the lyrics
- How long the jingle should be
- The target audience
- The right calls to action
- The company message or messages
The writer should be able to showcase these aspects with a rough demo.
