“Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make.” — Bill Bernbach
-
Spoken word poetry taps directly into the emotional centers of the brain, creating a sensory and psychological experience that standard copy simply can’t replicate.
Research shows that listeners exhibit measurable physiological responses to spoken word poetry — including changes in heart rate and emotional arousal — meaning your message isn’t just heard… it’s felt.
-
A rhyme scheme can sound childish when done incorrectly. But the ads you remember most likely use a pattern that sticks with you, even if you don’t realize.
Through rhythm, cadence, and intentional language patterns, poetic advertising bypasses mental filters and speaks to the subconscious. It creates resonance, memory, and meaning, which are three important pillars of brand loyalty.
-
It’s embodied.
Your brand becomes an experience, not a pitch.It’s memorable.
People remember how something made them feel long after they forget the details.It’s human.
In a world saturated with AI copy and templated messaging, poetry signals soul, artistry, and intention.It’s shareable.
Spoken word ads feel like content, not commercials - making them more likely to be replayed, shared, and saved. -
First, you and I will have a conversation or written exchange in which you share
the mission, vision, and values of your business
how you’d like your audience to feel upon hearing the ad
how you’d like your audience to respond after hearing the ad (ie the call to action)
I will also do a deep dive into your website and make suggestions from a consumer perspective.
From there, I will write a spoken or written poem at the length of your choosing. Based on your feedback, I will revise as many times as needed until the commercial feels perfectly aligned with your vision!
-
You will receive a poem that is:
Fully custom-written for your brand
Rooted in your values, voice, and customer psychology
Designed with rhythmic flow, emotional arc, and sonic texture
Crafted to work across video, social media, audio, and live presentation
For an additional charge, I can provide a high quality voice recording of the poem for your commercial use.
If you’d like video footage of me reciting your poem, we can discuss the details of filming the commercial, as well.
In addition, if you’d like, I am happy to share your ad across all @powerfulandpoised social media channels for additional reach.
-
Poetry ads are priced between $200–$600, depending on length, inclusion of audio recording, and inclusion of video footage.

Custom Poems
Looking for a deeply personal gift?
Commission a custom poem to honor a birthday, anniversary, or sacred milestone when you just can’t seem to put your feelings into words.
I’ll have you share the message you’re hoping to send, and use that to craft a poem specially for the recipient. You get to choose the style: heartfelt, playful, nostalgic, or something else.
Rate for commissions varies based on length of poem and anticipated turn-around time.
