Activity across The Hits Radio and Smash Hits, supported with online activity & presenter involvement. First trails featuring the previous year's projects to were rotated to inspire and excite listeners about this year's competition & drive registrations online. Presenters community ideas were highlighted through live reads to generate a buzz. An extensive online campaign was launched across both stations websites, supported by the Hits iPhone app. An O2 Takeover Day for one day ran across all platforms and included a mixture of trails, sponsorship credits and live reads.

This campaign was a huge success, over- delivering 22% against the target audience of 16-19 year olds. The click through rate was a massive 47% (industry average 0.05%) and in excess of 43,000 unique users visited the site, with over 1,500 listeners downloading the app. And all this was achieved in just 8 weeks.

Our insight showed that Smash Hits was a perfect brand fit; its sound is energetic, upbeat and feel-good. Similarly the Hits Radio focuses on the social lives of 15-34s and embraces the excitement and dynamism of living in the UK today. By addressing the target audience using content that shows that anti-social behavior can be stopped in its tracks through Think Big it highlighted young people in a positive way to both themselves and other generations - inspiring them to Think Big.
