Why Choose Us
We have been going strong for 20 years. Established in 1999, The Media Connection has been a formidable contender in the radio sales industry for as long as it has been in existence. We have been blessed to witness the birth and be a part of the ongoing success of some legendary radio stations.
We have a passionate sales force, and they push hard to make sure that each detail and each campaign is executed with precision and that every client is as excited and as satisfied at the end of any journey we travel together.
We are uniquely equipped to tie together community radio packages that give your brand maximum exposure in communities that are otherwise unreachable. We are the connection.
Research
Our sales team can give you detailed information on the listenership of individual stations or on the stations you choose collectively in the footprint area you choose. We can also furnish you with other key information, like local malls, local vendors and who else is selling in the area.
Targeting Listeners
Each community is unique, and the culture is different. Different languages are spoken and the stations in that area have a different ‘vibe’. We can help you tailor design your campaign to have maximum impact on the community you are aiming at.
Specific Stations
If you would like to advertise on more than a handful of stations across a handful of provinces, we can help you assess which stations would be best. There are many things to consider, and we have it all covered.
Packages
On occasion you may need more than just radio sales advice. We offer advert production, and things like outside broadcasts and on the road activations. We can organise it all for you into one seamless, awesome campaign.
Feedback
At the end of the campaign if you would like feedback and a rundown of everything that has happened, how it went and what the outcome has been, we can give that to you with pleasure. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
Flexibility
Radio is beautifully diverse and flexible. If you have any questions about how it works, or you would just like to chat to a rep about the mechanics of it, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line and we will gladly answer any queries.
