radio advertising
Airwave promotional spots
Radio advertising is the promotion of products, services, or messages through broadcast radio.
Advertisers pay for airtime during programming, typically in 15-, 30-, or 60-second spots.
The local car dealership runs radio advertising during the morning commute.
Radio ads rely entirely on audio—voice, music, and sound effects—to capture attention and convey their message.
