Radio advertising with OWEXX – heard and remembered

Radio, which attracts a large audience with its unique blend of entertainment and information content, is an inseparable part of our daily lives and, even in the digital age, has not lost its popularity. It is one of the most accessible media – radio is listened to at home, in the car, at work. High audience reach, user engagement and a variety of programme choices that attract a wide circle of listeners make radio an extremely attractive medium for advertising.

Variety of radio advertising tools and an attentive audience

To be heard in the endless "noise" of information. Isn't that what brand success requires? Radio advertising offers many opportunities, including a wide choice of advertising tools and an attentive audience.

Traditional audio advertising, advertising within radio programmes, product and service presentations, informational announcements, live on-air games, radio programme cycles and sponsorships – the variety of radio advertising tools lets you choose the most suitable one, taking into account the target audience and the intended goals of the advertising campaign. According to Nielsen data, radio attracts an exceptionally wide circle of listeners – of various ages, places of residence, etc.

Radio is unique in that it creates a close connection with the audience. Radio stations bring together a circle of loyal listeners, a community; here listeners are drawn into discussions and contribute to the creation of radio content with their opinions and questions, while companies that include radio advertising in their advertising campaigns have the opportunity to become part of that community.

An attentive audience means a heard advertising message. Advertising on favourite radio stations and programmes creates positive associations with the advertised brand, products and services. Broadcasting advertising during peak listening times is an opportunity to present your business to a large and diverse audience.

Radio is part of consumers' daily lives. It is listened to at home, during commutes to and from work, and at work. Favourite music, radio hosts and programmes blend into everyday activities, while interesting discussions, relevant information and games ensure attention to the advertising message that is heard.

Radio advertising allows you to target the advertising audience. By choosing a specific radio station, or even a specific radio programme in which the advertising message will air, you reach the target audience and, moreover, create positive associations between the advertised brand and the favourite radio programme. The choice of broadcast time for radio advertising depends on many factors, one of which is the goal of the advertising.

For example, to increase brand awareness or drive sales, it is most favourable to broadcast radio advertising during peak times, when the most popular radio programmes are on air. According to a study conducted in the United Kingdom, radio advertising can increase awareness of the advertised brand, product or service by as much as 48%, and the number of searches about the brand by as much as 52%.

Advertising on radio stations also enables a quick effect – in 58% of cases where radio advertising prompts consumers to look for more information about the advertised product, service or company, the information search takes place within the next 24 hours.

Radio advertising means positive associations and repetition, a memorable advertising message, building a connection with the consumer, increasing brand awareness, driving sales, shaping the company's image and, of course, the opportunity to be heard.

Radio advertising – to achieve various advertising campaign goals

Perhaps it is advertising in the most popular morning or afternoon programmes, or perhaps playful and organic brand awareness building during games on air, or perhaps radio programme sponsorship that creates positive associations with the company. Driving product and service sales, building a connection with the consumer, shaping business image, increasing brand awareness, etc. – radio advertising helps achieve various advertising goals. Research has shown that advertising campaigns that include radio advertising increase the likelihood of a brand becoming famous by as much as 60%.

According to Nielsen research, as much as 69% of radio listening time is spent away from home — mostly in cars and at work. This lets you plan a memorable advertising campaign by combining radio advertising with out-of-home media such as outdoor screens, billboards and transit advertising. Audio advertising reinforced with striking visuals on outdoor media will create a message that leaves a lasting impression.

An engaging and vivid combination of sound and image will stick in the memory, and by aligning your ad broadcasts on outdoor screens and radio, the slogan, message or pitch people hear will be reinforced by bright, attention-grabbing visuals on high-quality outdoor screens across Lithuania.

Advertising on outdoor screens and other out-of-home media, like radio advertising, has already earned consumers' trust. This combination of advertising media offers visibility and campaign success.

To become part of consumers' daily lives and reinforce radio slogans with visuals on smaller screens, you can also choose a different media mix — pairing radio advertising with TV advertising. This duo is chosen quite often for its audience reach: for example, radio advertising reaches the consumer on the road or at work, while the brand, product or service is recalled as they relax on the sofa in front of the TV screen.
