It may seem boring to some. To others, it’s a sign that marketers who believe in radio are sticking with it, and not using six-week blasts twice a year as part of a campaign designed to build sales and lure customers.
Radio’s biggest users are once again fully represented in the latest Media Monitors Spot 10 Radio report.
At No. 1 and No. 2 are two of the radio industry’s biggest fans: The Home Depot and GEICO.
This week, The Home Depot edges out the auto insurance specialist by less than 3,000 spot plays, as measured by iHeartMedia-owned Media Monitors.
In third position is McDonald’s — a welcome QSR brand that was highly criticized at the start of 2018 for decreasing its ad spend at radio, in particular at African-American targeted stations owned by Urban One, impacting its bottom line.
