Bruce Urges Media To Embrace Digital Marketing For Seamless Operation

Chairman, Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN), Mr Guy Murray Bruce, has urged the media to embrace digital marketing for seamless operation.

This is just as the adoption of technology to automate the media buying process has grown significantly in recent years.

Bruce, who made the call at the unveiling ceremony of Radioadspread, an indigenous technology for online radio advertisement, in Lagos, said the adoption of technology by the media is driven by the increasing complexity of the media landscape, the need for greater efficiency in media buying, and the availability of advanced technologies that make automation possible.

Speaking on the newest technology in the media space, IBAN chairman said Radioadspread, was launched to bring digital marketing solutions to radio advertisement, while urging radio stations and advertisement organisations to seize the advantage of the platform to transform their businesses.

In the same vein, the president, Media Independent Practitioner Association of Nigeria (MIPAN), Mr Femi Adelusi, said the platform would enable business owners, advertising agencies, and marketing managers to easily create and manage radio advertisements remotely and connect with radio stations across Nigeria from anywhere in the world and from the comfort of their offices and homes.
