Local Market Monopoly Hyperlocal Small Business Marketing Podcast


Sep 1, 2026

You hear two ads back to back. One sounds flat, like someone reading a script. The other sounds like a movie trailer. You already know which one you remember.

Connor Quinn has voiced national ads for Visa, Mercedes-Benz, and Sandals Resorts. He's also been the voice of Braum's commercials in Oklahoma for nearly 20 years. Clarence brought him on to answer one question: how can a business with 6 to 50 employees afford that same level of voice talent?

In this episode:

  • Professional voice talent may cost less than you think. Connor prices jobs by market, so your local ad isn't priced like a Super Bowl commercial.
  • Cheap voice work can cost more in the long run. Connor has seen business owners go through four or five cheap gigs trying to get one usable read.
  • The best ads talk with customers, not at them. A real conversation is more memorable than another sales pitch.

Listen now to discover why your next ad doesn't need a bigger budget—it may just need a better voice.
