Shalaka Kamat, GM - Marketing, Consumer Products Business, Tata Chemicals

When using radio with other marketing mediums, the idea is to use an approach to optimise synergy and reach. In most cases, we use radio to render support to the primary campaign... Getting across to the right audience at the right time, effectively delivering a message that appeals to their ears and generates desired action is the main objective.

There is nothing wrong in radio being a reminder medium and I am very happy with that. Let me put it very differently, somebody had once said, “Radio is like vodka, you can mix it with any drink”. So, you can mix radio with print, television, outdoor, digital, and events. The best part is that you can have this vodka while driving, which makes radio the most flexible of all mediums.
