Radio

Radio remains a very relevant medium for advertisers and is a key player in the audio ecosystem. Far from being outdated, recent figures reveal that 48.9 million adults – a massive 89% of the adult UK population – tune in to their selected radio stations each week. In addition, the average listener hears up to 20.2 hours of live radio per week (Source: RAJAR).

Radio targets audiences efficiently because different stations attract different listeners - allowing advertisers to talk selectively to the groups they are most interested in. The structure of radio means that brands can focus their activity very effectively on key market areas – gone are the days when you have to buy advertising that covers the whole of a town, city or county.

Add to this the fact that radio advertising now offers innovative digital solutions, streaming to a wide range of devices. Advertisers have the opportunity to use more creative ways to get their message across than ever before.

In partnership with the top radio stations, nationwide, we can help you create an exciting, clear message that allows you to reach your core market. So from insurance products to music concerts, and from car launches to mobile phone deals, talk to us about your radio advertising.
