Discuss your projectStandard speaking rate for German TV and radio commercial copy. Use these figures when writing or checking script length.
| Spot Length | Approximate Word Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 15 seconds | ≈ 30 words | Hard sell, rapid pace |
| 20 seconds | ≈ 40 words | Standard short format |
| 30 seconds | ≈ 60 words | Most common TV/radio length |
| 60 seconds | ≈ 120 words | Long form; radio and online |
German copy tends to run slightly longer than English due to compound words and word order. Allow 10–15% more time when translating from English scripts.
For most commercial campaigns, buyout pricing is the simplest and most transparent option. You pay a single flat fee, and the recording is yours to use without restriction — no annual renewal, no usage tracking, no additional invoices when your campaign runs longer than planned.
Buyout is standard for online advertising, social media campaigns, regional TV and radio, and any production where long-term usage is uncertain. You agree a fee upfront, receive the files, and use them as you need.
Usage-based licensing — where the fee scales with media type, territory and broadcast duration — is available for major national TV campaigns or productions with defined media plans. In those cases, the fee reflects actual exposure.
All quotes specify which model applies. If you're unsure which fits your project, mention the planned media use when you enquire and Andreas will recommend the right approach.
