Radio Advertising:- How to get the best out of it
Posted on Leave a comment
Let’s face it; traditional media is here to stay. TV will always be part of our daily lives. It’s the wind down medium in the evening and the escapism of the daily grind. Out of home will always form part of the urban and rural landscape, it’s not going anywhere. And radio – the news jingle will always get us to reach for the volume button, our favourite song gets us singing along and we associate and empathise with DJ’s.
Radio has strong and enviable offerings: reach, immediacy, frequency, geographic targeting, daypart targeting, language targeting. Turnaround time is fast and production can be relatively inexpensive.
So how do marketers get the most out of their radio campaign? Making radio work for your company requires strategy, skilled media buying and engaging creative. But what makes a radio ad engaging?
The creative and media strategy process starts with a clear understanding of your brand, your audience and

NEWS:- Entercom Moves Into Network Radio Biz With Unwired Entry.
Posted on Leave a comment
Aiming to increase ad rates for inventory it was selling at deep discounts, Entercom on Tuesday announced its entry into the network radio business via a new unwired network. Entercom Audio Network won’t involve increasing spotloads at its radio stations, the company says. Rather it intends to regain control of inventory that it had been handing over to third party resellers and offer it as part of a new national platform.
Speaking to investors during Entercom’s first quarter results call on Tuesday, CEO David Field said the network will allow the company to “meaningfully enhance our yield by transitioning out of a poor sales channel and shifting that inventory into higher value channels,” which also include a still-under-construction national business development initiative.
The company says Entercom Audio Network will allow it to capitalize on its scale of 235 stations and reach of 112 million monthly listeners to participate directly in the $1 billion netw

Advertisers Rediscover Radio
Posted on Leave a comment
While it has consistently maintained popularity and ubiquity among all ages of U.S. listeners, radio perhaps lost its place in line with advertisers as new, shinier audio offerings pervaded the landscape.
That distraction appears to be fading. After combatting a stagnant ad market and losing dollars to those data-rich digital channels, the radio industry is getting revived interest and increased activity from marketers and advertisers.
Inside Radio’s two-part Monday feature offers a sleek dive into radio’s rediscovery by Madison Avenue, which—again—appears to be recognizing radio’s ability to reach the masses with proven content, alongside expanded platforms like digital audio, mobile apps, podcasts and live events.
“Radio just sort of fell out of their consciousness. So now we’re reintroducing it to them. And they’re engaging, they’re very open to it,” offers Nielsen’s Head of Audio Brad Kelly.
