John Grose Hits the Road with Greatest Hits Radio Sponsorship

We began sponsoring the Traffic & Travel bulletins in 2023, with these updates running during two of the station's most listened-to dayparts - Breakfast (6am to 10am) and Drivetime (4pm to 7pm) – ensuring our brand is heard when listeners are most engaged with local updates and planning their daily journeys. Each update is accompanied by a 10-word branded tagline tailored to highlight key messages, from seasonal promotions and new model arrivals to events at the dealership. These short, consistent messages reinforce brand recall and create regular touchpoints with the local community.

Over time, the partnership has grown beyond simple name recognition. We've used the sponsorship as a platform to promote exciting developments, such as the introduction of new vehicle ranges, EV launches, and exclusive customer events. With additional audio assets, the dealership has extended its messaging further, creating a well-rounded campaign that combines brand awareness with timely promotions.
