Overview: Bauer Media makes connections with the right audiences
Experian help Bauer fine-tune their advertising on a local level
Bauer Radio is a much loved and listened to broadcaster with dozens of stations that are played all day long across the country. In this digital world, with localised signals it can be a challenge to ensure the right listener has the right broadcast, and Experian helps them to make this happen.
After acquiring 40+ new radio stations, Bauer Media needed a way to match the new radio catchment centres to Postal District centroids to ensure their clients’ paid advertising was optimised and the right adverts were hitting the right listeners in the right locations.
Challenge overview
When asking their smart device to play the radio station, it’s important the radio stations are mapped to the right locations to serve the right ads. Previously, the centres of radio stations were assigned automatically to where the town or city centre was located meaning in some instances, advertising could have been delivered to the wrong listeners.
In one example where a pin was automatically assigned, just 11% of the pin’s coverage area was assigned to the correct catchment.
Challenges
- Match radio catchment centres to postal district centres
- Ensure paid advertising reaches the right customers
- Increase the coverage area of the pin to the catchment
