The new stage in this campaign Radio + Online - we just click!, written by international award-winning director of Eardrum Australia, Ralph van Dijk, relies on humour to highlight the effectiveness of radio supporting an online campaign.
This stage of the campaign is based on research which shows that over 80 per cent of people who hear a radio commercial have visited that website as a result. Over two-thirds of commercial radio listeners are online daily and these listeners are using the internet to shop, research or download information.
Previous ads targeted niche markets like the insurance industry and used senior executives of major companies to explain why they use radio as part of their advertising mix. Most recently the campaign highlighted radio's ability to target audiences at specific times and locations across the day.
Radio advertising is now being taken very seriously at an international creative level and the industry’s own campaign reflects the great strength of good Australian radio ads. Proof of this is an Australian Commercial written for Masterfoods winning the prestigious "Grand Prix" Gold Lion in Cannes during June 2007 and a Silver Lion won for RACV Financial Services in June 2008.
Today’s advertising climate is also highly competitive and very cluttered, making it imperative for advertisers to use effective and efficient mediums for their message to get through – radio is often the best answer.
