NYC Radio: Coalition Airing 'Fall In Love' With Radio Campaign

A coalition of New York City radio stations has launched a campaign designed to focus attention on radio.

The New York City Radio Committee has developed a marketing campaign to promote the power of radio. The campaign includes radio messages airing on over twenty of New York's most listened-to stations, digital and social media marketing along with trade media. 

The multi-media campaign began Monday September 12 and runs through November. The focal point of the initiative will be a special emphasis on advertising agencies and businesses that purchase advertising.

Audacy/New York Market President Chris Oliviero and Chairman of the New York City Radio Committee stated, "Radio has been and continues to be a critical and valued part of millions of New Yorkers' daily lives. These iconic brands, from music to news to sports, provide the soundtrack of the city. This campaign offers a fresh, fun and innovative approach to highlighting the efficacy of radio for media planners and advertisers. The collaboration of the city's major broadcasters shows a clear commitment to our belief that local radio, consumed on FM or AM or streaming or in podcasts, is an essential tool in any overall marketing strategy in the media capital of the world."


The creative used in the campaign was developed by Bandujo Advertising and Design of New York City. Founder & Chief Creative Officer Jose Bandujo said, "Our brief was to reinforce with a new generation of media planners and advertisers that radio is a fresh, vibrant media channel. Its popularity is booming, and it should be an essential element of their marketing strategies, to help them reach their customers. With millions of New Yorkers -- across all ages and demographics -- tuning in every week, we had a strong foundation and could back up any promise with incredible statistics. And, just like radio entertains people, we wanted to communicate those stats in an entertaining way.

"Our answer was to create a persona for radio through a tongue-in-cheek dating profile. Then convey the many benefits of radio through its personality traits. The result is a campaign that delivers all the surprising stats and reasons to believe, in unexpected ways. Lots of fun. And lots to love."

The campaign is based on research conducted by DYNATA. For more information about the campaign go to https://nycaudio.org/
