HOW DOES PROGRAMMATIC RADIO ADVERTISING WORK?

When a listener streams radio on an internet-connected device, such as a smart speaker, mobile phone, PC or tablet, programmatic technology analyses the listener’s behaviour and preferences. This data also takes into account factors such as location, age and gender etc to determine which relevant audio ads to serve to that individual.

Programmatic technology in audio advertising is on a par with that offered by digital online display, social media and SEO advertising, bringing all of the benefits of traditional radio advertising into the digital world of hyper targeting and attribution.

Radiocentre’s research “RADIO – The ROI Multiplier” found that an average return on investment for traditional radio advertising is 8%. When you combine the ‘old’ benefits of radio with the more focused targeting and measurability of programmatic radio advertising, wastage is mitigated and ROI increases yet further.

WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO ADVERTISING?

Ironically DAB [Digital Audio Broadcast] Radio is NOT included in ‘digital’ radio advertising. A more accurate definition would actually be Connected Radio Advertising e.g. radio advertising to those listening via a connected [to the internet] device e.g. Smart Speaker, Mobile Phone, PC, Laptop, Tablet etc.

Digital Radio Advertising can target specific audiences [over 500 different taxonomies] and locations [down to within a 15 mile radius of a UK post code]. What’s more, you can serve different advertising messages into those audiences and locations at different times of the day, depending on what listeners are doing at the time.

HOW MUCH IS RADIO ADVERTISING?

According to the UK’s RAJAR [Radio Joint Audience Research] survey in December 2022, over 49 million adults [89%] tuned in and spent on average 20.3 hours each listening to Live Radio every week.

This impressive scale allows advertisers to reach consumers right across the country, but such is the impressive targeting potential available through connected radio advertising, advertisers can geo locate their messages into small localities.

This means radio advertising can be effective for even the most modest of budgets.

TOP 4 TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE DIGITAL RADIO ADVERTISING

LIVE Radio still dominates the audio listening day, here are 4 top tips for effective advertising on it.

Audiences.

Publishers will sell to you why their station is best, but our advice would be to follow the data and target the right audience, at the right time, in the right place.

Optimise.

Waiting a couple of weeks for a Post Campaign Analysis report doesn’t cut it, monitor your campaign closely and optimise its performance with insights and analytics to maximise return on investment.

80:20.

Millions are spent on buying the ad inventory, only for its effectiveness to be undermined by a lack of investment in curating compelling commercials. Use the 80:20 rule and invest 20% of your budget in capturing the listeners attention and driving conversions.

Call To Attribution.

Use of a Voice Skill to continue the conversation with the listener after the ad has been served, provides the ultimate attribution and measurement opportunity for advertisers.
