Daphne Lourdes, Astro Radio’s General Manager of Digital & Marketing said, “At present, Astro Radio has 16.7 million weekly listeners on air and 27 million social media followers…we aim to extend our reach and deepen our engagement with SYOK.”
She went on to say that last year, they received close to 1 billion video views across their brands and want to create more original videos to connect with our audience.
The company will also focus on growing its SYOKcast network by working with local podcasters to create niche audio content.
Through these additional content pillars, they will be able to offer new advertising and sponsorship opportunities for their partners to engage with their audiences.
Recently, they ran a digital quiz for PEPSI’s Ramadhan balik kampung campaign on SYOK, which generated 23,000 entries in just 5 days.
They managed to achieve these results by leveraging the combined strengths of its multi-platform assets along with attractive prizes.
