What Is A Public Service Announcement?

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) is a free “commercial” for a non-profit

organization. It is aired voluntary by individual radio and/or TV stations.

But To The Audience.....

To the audience, a PSA is just another commercial.

So to learn how to write an effective PSA, you need to understand how to create

an effective commercial. Whether you call it “commercial” or “PSA,” to the

audience it’s all advertising.

But I’m Not Very “Creative!”

This might surprise you, but you don’t need to be “creative” to create great

advertising. If you know how to communicate effectively in an everyday

conversation, you can create an effective PSA.

How Do I Start?

You start with the goal of the PSA: What do you want it to accomplish? Once

you know the goal, then you can figure out how the PSA can achieve it.

What Is The Goal of a PSA?

The goal of a PSA is simple: To get someone to take a specific

action. It’s not to talk about the sponsoring organization. It’s

to motivate the targeted audience to act: To drop off the canned

goods for the food drive. To make sure their children’s seat belts

are buckled. To stay in school....To stop smoking....To avoid

abusing drugs.
