Why Audio Advertising Works

Audio advertising is a reliable and powerful way to build brand recognition and encourage action. People tend to have a strong loyalty to the platforms they listen to, be it a favourite radio station, playlist, or podcast. This loyalty makes audio a trusted channel. Audio adverts can take advantage of this and build consistent brand recall by tapping into the emotional connection listeners have.

With our 15 years of experience in audio advertising, we at Forward & Thinking connect with audiences in their everyday moments, whether they’re driving, exercising, or relaxing at home. With platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and podcasts, audio ads give you the opportunity to reach your audience in a targeted, cost-effective way. In the UK alone, 88% of adults tune in to the radio each week. Podcasts rack up 84 million weekly listening hours, with each listener averaging over 7 hours per week. That’s a massive opportunity for your brand to make an impression.

Audio advertising is also less intrusive than other media and creates a more personal, intimate experience. When done right, it can significantly improve brand awareness. Our team studies the full range of audio platforms, using data to match audience demographics and location to your campaign goals.

At Forward & Thinking, we craft audio campaigns that don’t just play in the background; they cut through with engaging scripts, quality production, and precise targeting, ensuring your brand voice is heard, remembered, and acted on across Leeds and beyond.

Radio That Delivers

Radio advertising continues to lead the way for mass reach; it’s one of the most powerful ways to connect with your audience. As of Q2 2025, 50 million adults across the UK (86% of the population) listen to their chosen stations each week, tuning in for an average of 20.6 hours. In London, popular stations such as Capital London, Heart London, Greatest Hits Radio, and BBC Radio London give brands the chance to speak directly to audiences across the capital.. With 74% of listening now happening digitally, we can add another layer of targeting to ensure your campaign is both impactful and efficient.

We combine national, regional, and local stations to make sure your message lands exactly where it needs to, whether you’re looking to reach busy commuters, students, or families across London and the South. With commercial radio being unskippable and unblockable, your brand’s message is guaranteed to be heard.
