Say It Now’s August Newsletter

Full Roundup of everything we can see from the Say It Now vantage point SUBSCRIBE HERE FOR FUTURE NEWSLETTERS

Hello!

We’re hot stepping through a super summertime and have a lot to share today including an invitation to a luscious lunch.

We’ve been running campaigns over the last couple of months across the US, Brazil, UK and more recently Germany via a partnership with RMS for brands including American ExpressCoca-ColaCo-Op and ADAC (a leading automobile club in Germany).

We have some exciting platform upgrades to announce in September (including an advent calendar) alongside a massive partnership announcement.

But before all that, would you like to join us for lunch?

At Say It Now we firmly believe that there is no better way to build a trusted relationship than through a conversation, so we host monthly ‘speakeasy’ lunches. These have no fixed agenda and aim to bring a variety of voices together from across the industry.  If you’d like to come along, please reply to this email or click here.  

See you soon,

Thanks,

Charlie

Rajar Q2 report – 63% smart speaker users use them for listening to radio

The latest UK Radio listening figures are in showing continued growth in smart speaker listening as a channel.  If consumers you want to reach are listening to commercial radio on a smart speaker (19% more are this year than last year) then it makes a lot of sense to run campaigns they can engage with using their smart speaker.
