AUDIO ADVOCATES

  • “We know small business owners are busy, time poor and on-the-go, so radio is a great avenue to reach them when they're going about their normal day-to-day business. Additionally, business owners are such a broad audience that we like to use multiple channels to reach them.”
    Lucy Gribble
    ANZ Head of Marketing (Commercial & Private Bank)
  • “For the best bang-for-buck, marketers should consider radio as an integral part of the channel mix – and an 11% investment can double your campaign’s impact.”
    Mark Ritson
    Brand Consultant and Marketing Professor
  • “We use radio to speak to consumers at the most appropriate time of day – ‘gin o’clock’. It was about owning the occasion, so radio was a natural channel to pick for us. It was important to us to use audio that captured our unique tone of voice and conveyed the feeling of refreshment.”
    Nathan James
    Marketing Manager, Hendrick’s Gin

    Sam Byrne
    Senior Integrated Media Manager - Dan Murphy’s

    Lizzie Manger

    Managing Director, Analytic Partners
  • “We often forget about the simple power of radio and audio.”
    Adam Ferrier
