The PSA Environment • Competition for Free Air Time is Intense • 39% of stations receive eight to 30+ PSAs per week
The PSA Environment • Why Marketing to Gatekeepers is Important: • They are: • Managing a non-revenue department • Overworked and understaffed • Inundated with PSAs • Bottom line: If they don’t play it, no one sees it
