  2. Background Why we conducted this study 1

  3. In 2000, the BIG question was how do media work together to drive awareness?

  4. In 2010, the BIG question is to what extent do offline media drive online success for brands? ?

  5. Previous findings about radio & online 1 A high proportion of broadband users are listening to radio when online

  7. Our hypothesis If Google is the last stage of the ‘click journey’… • ‘In-market’ consumer • Sector-generic search • Converting demand

  8. Our hypothesis If Google is the last stage of the ‘click journey’… • …then RADIO is an effective first stage of that same click journey • ‘In-market’ consumer • Sector-generic search • Converting demand • ‘In- and Out-of-market’ consumers • Brand-specific search • Creating demand

  9. The questions we set out to answer • To what extent does radio advertising effect the way listeners browse brands online in the real world? • What sort of radio campaigns are most effective? • How could brands use these findings to enhance effectiveness?
