It was something we wanted to try for a month. But, since the return was so great, we decided to do a second month and a third; then proceed into a sponsorship. Patients have called specifically mentioning they have heard us on 93.5. Your listeners trust you, they listen on a daily basis, so you have a credibility with them. As an advertising, we’re able to build a relationship with your audience. And your team has been great in helping us put together a campaign that speaks directly to your listeners.

I’ve worked closely with Cheryl Foster for a couple of years now. Through persuasion and persistence she won a meeting with me, at a time when our radio budget was spent with a major competitor.

Cheryl took the time to understand our business and marketing goals. She expressed the need for effective radio creative to drive sales and enhance the Healthy Planet brand. She then took the initiative and worked closely with her Creative Team to produce excellent commercials to ultimately win our business.

These commercials have become the foundation of our radio strategy and today both Boom 97-3 and 93-5 The MOVE are integral to our marketing strategy and contribute greatly to our growth and success in the market.

It was nice that it was holistic. To have the web presence just made our campaign more robust and more exciting.

Marketing Manager, Waterview Market Shrimp

Last spring, we worked closely with Cheryl Foster from boom 97-3 Radio.

The grocery category is very competitive and visual representation of any brand is very important, so at first we were reluctant to explore what radio could bring to the table. This did not deter Cheryl – she listened carefully to our concerns, business and marketing goals and was able to create a multi-layered radio campaign that today we deem to be a big success.

Our overall goals were brand awareness, a new product launch and ultimately lift in sales throughout the summer of 2017.

The boom 97-3 integrated radio / digital / sponsorship / contest campaign achieved these goals. Boom 97-3 is a great fit with our product lines and we were able dominate the airwaves during our peak season with an incredibly well-targeted interactive station premier feature. We had a lot of feedback from friends, family and of course, consumers.

We are in the process of evaluating specific confidential KPIs, but we’re confident that we will look to boom again for a similar opportunity next summer.
