Common Doubts

Clear answers to the most frequent questions

Is radio dying?

Streaming has taken some listeners. The ones radio retained are exactly the commuting, driving, working audience that most Bangalore businesses want. Urban radio listenership has held steadier than print over the last decade. The question, as always, is whether your buyer is there.

Can radio sell things?

Radio drives action better than most agencies admit. Restaurants, retail, real estate, education — categories where proximity, impulse, and top-of-mind matter have all used radio to directly drive footfall and calls. The key is the right station, right time band, compelling offer, and enough frequency.

Minimum budget?

A meaningful radio campaign in Bangalore — enough spots to build frequency across a 4-week period on one or two stations — typically starts at ₹50,000–2 lakh per month in station spend. Below that, the frequency is too low to register. A one-week burst for a specific event or offer can be done for less.

How do we know it's working?

Dedicated call numbers. Promo codes. QR codes in press running simultaneously. Search volume tracking during the flight. We build measurement in before the campaign goes live, not after someone asks for the numbers.

Should we use a jingle?

For retail brands with high media frequency and a long-term presence in the market, a jingle builds recall faster than spoken copy alone. For campaigns with a short flight or a specific message, spoken copy with strong sound design is usually more effective. We advise based on your category and your budget.
