Byline: Unathi Nkanjeni Radio advertising might be seen as old-fashioned especially with the rise of the Internet and other types of media and that their audience has decreased. However, used right, as with cinema advertising, radio advertising can reach a captive audience with a targeted communication - and in South Africa, it's an excellent choice of medium as the number of people in our country depend on it for their news and entertainment. Whilst not cheap (unless you intend advertising on community radio stations), radio has long been a favoured advertising medium in our country.

Firstly we need to establish that traditional advertising is not dead , and has never died and has never resurrected and come back to life it is very much alive, and people still pay close attention to it. Even though traditional advertising is still there, people might think it has lost its relevance because it does not connect to a wider audience, but we tend to forget that with traditional advertising you get to connect to real people, so instead of connecting to those online hackers, whose only interest is hacking something on the web, you get to connect to your ordinary folks, which is something online media cannot help you fulfill, do not get me wrong I am not saying that people using online platforms are bots.
