Bonding, as opposed to Branding…

Roy, as you may recall, I live in Scottsdale, AZ.  I first heard the first Goettl ad about a month ago — I instantly knew the spot was written by a Wizard of Ads partner, or at least a disciple of yours.  But it was YOU!!  So cool to hear your stuff out in the wild and be able recognize it.  🙂

Cheers!!

I was a ten year-old boy holding a flashlight for my Dad while he worked on an air conditioner for a customer. His name was Duncan Goodrich. He didn’t talk much. But there’s a certain kind of magic that happens when a son holds a flashlight for his father. I held it steady and quiet and Dad talked to me while he worked. He said, “When a person needs help, you respond right away. Not when it’s convenient for you.” He said, “Always do the right thing. Always do what’s right.” And he said, “The Goettl Iron Horse is a magnificent machine. Nothing else even comes close.” That was the first night I held a flashlight for my Dad but it wouldn’t be the last. At Dad’s funeral, I realized that every time he handed me that flashlight, he was passing the torch. And my Dad believed in Goettl air conditioners. So I bought the company. Goettl. Gee Oh Ee, T-T-L.  It’ll keep you cool, but it’s hard to spell. You can count on us to respond right away and do the right thing… Always. No one knows air conditioning like Goettl. Gee Oh Ee, T-T-L.

That was the first radio ad in the campaign to resurrect Goettl Air Conditioning.

You can listen to the second and third ads below.

Random Quote:

“A metaphysician is one who, when you remark that twice two is four, demands to know what you mean by twice, what by two, what by makes, and what by four. For asking such questions metaphysicians are supported in oriental luxury in the universities, and respected as educated and intelligent men.”

- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
