Radio advertisement
Aired sales pitch
A radio advertisement is a commercial message broadcast over radio, typically 15 to 60 seconds long.
Radio ads rely entirely on audio—voice, music, and sound effects—to capture attention and deliver their pitch.
The radio advertisement for the local car dealership played three times an hour during the morning commute.
