NEW CUSTOMERS INCOMING

Advertising & Sponsorship

NEW EARS ACROSS SCOTLAND are WAITING

Radio advertising works by leveraging its broad reach, cost-effectiveness, and ability to create personal connections through audio, building brand awareness and driving action via repetition, targeted demographics (e.g., commuters), and imaginative “theater of the mind” storytelling, often influencing immediate or near-term purchases with strong ROI, especially when integrated with other media.

WHAT CAN NOW RADIO DO YOU YOU?

Partnering with NOW Radio offers your business an unparalleled gateway to the heart of the Scottish community, combining the trusted authority of local broadcasting with modern digital reach.

In an era where consumers crave authenticity, our platform allows your brand to cut through the noise by placing your message directly into the daily lives of a loyal, engaged audience from the Borders to the Highlands.

At NOW Radio, we don’t just play adverts; we tell your business’s story to the people who matter most.

At NOW Radio, we believe that effective advertising shouldn’t be “one size fits all,” which is why our campaigns are entirely customizable to suit your specific goals and budget. Because every business has unique needs—whether you require a high-frequency burst for a weekend event or a long-term brand-building sponsorship—we don’t operate on a rigid, fixed-cost basis. Instead, we work closely with you to scale your investment, adjusting factors like airtime density, time-of-day targeting, and digital integration to ensure you get a bespoke package that delivers maximum impact for your specific spend.
