TV Reel
Spots with bold, rich flavor.
Some favorites from 2 decades + of TV promos
Print, video, bumpers, whatnot.
Oh, hi. I'm semi-retired from this stuff.
I leave it up for funsies. Also, so aspiring copywriters see that there are outlets for their talents beyond -- say wha? -- the Internet. It's not all white papers for body-building protein powder!
Some kinds of writing I've been paid handsomely for: upfronts, sales tapes, launch promos, launch campaigns, funny “coming up next” lines, branded entertainment, integrated promotions, digital content, taglines, show opens, bumpers, print ads, and…what am I missing? Whatever it is, I've written it. Check out some of my favorite spots on my reel below. Or, just click here to get in touch now.
Here are a bunch of spots I’ve written.
Some new, some old faves. I suggest you:
1. Watch them all, twice.
2. Listen to the NBC voiceover stuff below them (once will do).
3. Check out the print and other text-based stuff below that.
Then, if you like what you see and hear, and you want a piece of *this* (makes hand gesture indicating self), well...sign up for my emails!
Did you watch?
Good. Now for the audio.
You know those great “stay tuned” messages on NBC? Sure you do, everyone’s talking about them. Well, they’re all written by me. Check out some samples by clicking the arrows.

Brilliant copywriter, savvy marketing strategist, Laura has been an invaluable creative resource for Nick at Nite and TV Land. The only question about endorsing Laura Belgray is whether I care to admit…that she is a better writer than I?
