Writing Samples

CHET NICHOLS

Below Are A Few Writing Samples.......

Below you will find writing examples that display my skills as a copywriter.
They include scripts for :60, :20 and :15 spots. These scripts were created for
commercials using a new auto-stereoscopic 3D system used in website,
point-of-purchase, out-of-home advertising, branded entertainment and trade
show situations. There is a longer piece done for Walgreens and was used for
website and a point-of-purchase event. You will also find a 2:30 piece done
for Eli Liily’s for their website and National Sales convention to kick-off a
new product, Cymbalta.

I am also a published novelist, poet and scriptwriter. Please let me know if you’d like
examples of these forms of creative writing. Let me know if you’d like to see more….
or if you’d like me to fulfill a writing exercise for you.

Enjoy!

ELI LILLY – “Cymbalta” Script
Chet Nichols – Creative Director/Writer/Producer

Depression is a medical illness with both emotion and physical symptoms.

Some experts believe that these symptoms are caused by an imbalance of
neuro-transmitters which are naturally occurring chemicals in the brain and
throughout the body.

In the brain, they help to transmit thoughts and feelings. In the body,
these chemicals can also affect the way you feel physically.

When these two are out of balance people can experience the emotional
and physical symptoms of depression.

This is why Lilly is proud to introduce Cymbalta, a new blockbuster drug
that has been proven effective in treating the emotional and the physical
symptoms of depression.

Typically Cymbalta provides broad symptom relief with just one 60mg dose
per day. And people taking Cymbalta may be more likely to experience,
not only improvement in a few of their symptoms, but relief from virtually
all of them in as quickly as 1 to four weeks after
starting treatment.

Cymbalta won’t take away life’s problems, but by helping to lift the
added burden of depression, it may help people feel more able to deal
with life’s daily challenges.

Now think of the truly life changing effect you will have on the lives of
people in need as you help to bring Cymbalta to market.

Cymbalta is the beginning of a journey that will help millions of people
transform their lives for the better, one-step at a time

You are the key to their journey.
