8The Radio Ad Effectiveness Lab Personal
Relevance, Personal Connections How Radio Ads
Affect Consumers
- The first major consumer research study funded
and designed by the Radio Ad Effectiveness Lab
(RAEL) and conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide - The Objective
- To determine if Radio advertising affects
consumers in ways that are different from
television and newspapers - The Study
- Phase I Focus groups were conducted to gather
qualitative information on how consumers value
media, the benefits of media and how media
affects consumers personally - Phase II Questionnaires (either online or
printed booklets) were conducted to quantify
consumer relationships to advertising - Key Findings
- Radio listening is a one-on-one and emotion
driven experience and listeners believe that both
the medium and its advertising are more relevant
to them compared to television and newspapers - Consumers see television and newspapers as being
designed to satisfy the masses, but Radio is
where they turn to get gratification of their
personal wants and needs - Consumers believe their Radio programs carry ads
that are appropriate for them as individuals and
listeners are therefore more ready to react at an
emotional level if the ad is well suited for
that programs context - The ability of Radio advertising to make
personal, emotion-driven connections with
listeners helps explain why Radio can be so
effective when advertising is done well and
placed appropriately

9The Radio Ad Effectiveness Lab Personal Relevance
Two Radios Receptive Ad Environment
- The fourth major consumer research study funded
and designed by the Radio Ad Effectiveness Lab
(RAEL) and conducted by Harris Interactive, Inc. - The Objective
- The goal of this study is to continue learning
how Radio advertising affects consumers
differently than other forms of marketing - The Study
- The study is based on a nationally projectable
Random Digit Dial telephone survey. In addition,
some background information on the perceptions of
Internet advertising (which had not been included
in the previous survey) was gathered via an
online bulletin board using Harris Interactives
web panel respondents. - Key Findings
- Radio listeners have a unique relationship with
radio as a medium. That relationship is more
emotionally connected than for either newspapers
or the Internet. And this relationship is much
more personal than for television or the
Internet. This suggests that radio provides a
pathway to the consumers mind that can provide
better emotional connections to brands and
products when the advertising is designed and
placed properly. - Consumers perceive that radio advertising is more
personally relevant to them than ads on
television or the Internet, in part because radio
ads are usually targeted to the demographics of
particular stations. That sets up an advertising
environment in which radio listeners actually
expect ads to be more interesting to them. - Radio ads are better tolerated by listeners than
are ads on television or the Internet, which
implies a more positive environment for
advertisers. - When drilling down into these conclusions, it was
observed that these findings were generally true
across all ages, genders, race/ethnic groups, and
radio formats.
