Radio Commercials remain an effective advertising method. It is the #1 reach medium when paired with the right target audience. Radio is cost effective with the ROI showing 93% of Americans still tuning into radio weekly. Ask yourself is this true? Yes! This is due in part to the popularity of syndicated shows and conglomerates like I-Heart Radio. Listeners follow their favorite music and personalities when driving (new car drivers choose radio at a 10x higher share) and listening to their favorite social music services. Not to mention other platforms like podcasts and smart TVs.
According to the recently released RAB study, “Radio Drives Search,” research found that radio generated an incremental 7% lift in Google search activity. A listener hears the ad and looks it up. When the listener has heard the commercial a minimum of three times, and expresses interest in the product or service, he or she becomes a strong lead and convertible prospect.
Radio gives the opportunity for the traditional :15, :30, and :60 second commercials, but Show Studio and Segment Sponsorships are also available. The Pollock Group has excellent relationships which can lead to savings and earned media opportunities such as In-House and Call-In Interviews.
