What Businesses Should Know About Multi-Channel Advertising (Radio + TV + Digital)
By Will Elkadi, WUM / eLab Communications
In today’s fast-moving media world, relying on just one advertising platform isn’t enough. Whether you’re a small business looking to increase foot traffic or a regional brand wanting to dominate market share, multi-channel advertising can be the difference between being heard—and being forgotten.
At eLab Communications, we help businesses craft smart, cross-platform campaigns that get results. Through our strategic partnership with KMBY Radio, we're able to offer clients access to a powerful blend of radio, television, and digital advertising across Northern California.
Why Multi-Channel Advertising Works
Each platform plays a unique role in capturing attention and driving action:
- Radio reaches people on the go—commuters, travelers, and loyal listeners tuning in daily. It builds familiarity and trust over time.
- Television (including Connected TV) provides sight, sound, and motion—ideal for visual storytelling and branding impact.
- Digital Advertising (web, social media, mobile) lets you target specific audiences by interest, behavior, and location—with real-time data to measure performance.
By blending all three, you create more touchpoints, greater recall, and better ROI.
Reinforcement = Results
Think about your ideal customer hearing your jingle on the radio during their morning drive, seeing your commercial on local TV in the evening, and clicking a sponsored post on Instagram that night. That’s not coincidence—that’s intentional brand reinforcement.
According to industry studies:
- Brands using 3+ channels see 250% higher engagement.
- Multi-channel campaigns deliver 24% greater return on investment than single-channel efforts.
