Journal of Communication Management, Vol. 26 No.1, pp.18-381363-254X10.1108/JCOM-09-2021-0104https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/99428Purpose – The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between frequency and recall in radio advertising by studying the main features of reach and frequency. Design/methodology/approach – The authors consider the outcome of a frequency model specifically designed for radio campaigns that gives the probability distribution of recall as a function of weekly exposures and GRPs over a dataset of 1,117 radio campaigns broadcast in Spain. Findings – An increase in factors such as advertising format and creativity are more significant to achieve effective recall than increasing the number of advertising exposures. Practical implications – This study has important managerial implications regarding radio campaigns’ planning: (1) Effective frequency is a range between 4 and 17 impressions (being 7 the optimal average). (2) The way to optimize the campaign is by using the following factors: live read format (Δ 4.4%), good creativity (Δ 2.8%), endorsement format (Δ 2%), sponsorship format (Δ 1.8%), increase the length of the spot (Δ 1.5%), place the ad in first (Δ 0.8%) or last (Δ 0.7%) positions in the pod. From the results we conclude that the format is at least as important as the creativity itself. Originality/value – This study contributes to the effective repetition literature in two ways: giving specific clues to the effective frequency in the radio medium and setting advertising factors that predict the effective frequency in radio.engjournal articlehttps://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JCOM-09-2021-0104/full/htmlrestricted accessradiorepetitionfrequencyrecalllive adendorsementsponsorshipadvertisingEconomía5311.05 Marketing (Comercialización)
