Changing lives & getting the message out there
What happens when all the radio broadcasters in your country put their competitive differences aside and join together to share the same message? Being able to reach 90% of the population with one message is a feat that many dream of but radio can deliver. Such a feat has been done in the UK with Mental Health Minute and in Ireland with Choose Radio initiatives. Hear how such initiatives are planned and executed and how radio has the power to touch so many people with one simple message!
