5 reasons why radio is so relevant...

1. EVERYONE LOVES MUSIC

There's nothing old-school about radio and the world’s one great unifier. Radio is everywhere where listeners live work and play.

2.FREQUENCY IS BEST ON-AIR

Psychologists tell us that consumers need to be exposed to an advertising message at least three times before it begins to resonate.

3. SMART SPEND

The costs associated with advertising on the radio have grown less than other common forms of advertising.

4. SEGMENTING LISTENERS & TARGET AUDIENCES 

Due to the targeting potential in radio, from access to the local community to the ability to address very specific submarkets using individual stations, a well-crafted radio message can provide the insight necessary to reach the right listeners.

5. EMOTIONAL PLAY

 In the truest sense, radio is quite visual, both figuratively and literally. In a figurative sense, a creative use of sound effects, voices, music, and commentary can paint a mental picture  More literally, radio's evolution into a digital experience provides plenty of opportunities for colours, pictures, and video.
