Another unforgettable night at our 12th annual We Can Survive. Thanks to Ed Sheeran, Goo Goo Dolls, Shaboozey, Alex Warren, our partners and fans for lighting up the Prudential Center, all to support mental health through American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. #WeCanSurvive

Radio has always been about connection — the original town square. That’s why Audacy is proud to use our platforms to lead on one of the most urgent issues of our time: mental health. Through our I’m Listening initiative and this week's star-studded We Can Survive concert benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we’re bringing awareness, support, and resources to millions. From radio specials and celebrity interviews to local hosts opening up about their own journeys, we’re working to normalize conversations that can save lives. Brands and partners play a vital role too. With nearly half of Gen Z saying they want to support brands that champion mental health, the opportunity to join us in this critical mission has never been more impactful. The more we talk, the more lives we can save. https://lnkd.in/eK_E34V9

Radio isn’t just background noise—it’s one of the most effective tools marketers have to deliver full-funnel results. This piece from Association of National Advertisers reveals that: 🎯 Radio delivers the second-highest ROI ($2) across all media, outperforming search, display, and CTV (Nielsen Global Compass). 🎯 Nearly a third of consumer ad-supported media time goes to audio, and radio captures a 69% share of that listening (RAB / Edison / WARC). 🎯 Brands that integrate radio see measurable gains—from a 27% lift in web traffic to 30%+ increases in in-store sales. As marketers feel mounting pressure to prove ROI, audio provides the rare ability to build brands and drive performance. From awareness and consideration to conversion, radio consistently delivers results across the funnel. At Audacy, we see this every day: when audio is activated in a campaign, it amplifies impact across the entire media mix.

We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership with MOGL, a leading athlete influencer platform, bringing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities directly into Audacy’s sports audio portfolio and expanding how brands connect with sports fans. By combining MOGL’s network of 30,000+ athlete influencers with Audacy’s unmatched cross-platform reach, brands can now integrate authentic athlete activations into campaigns that drive measurable results. Together, we’re redefining sports marketing and empowering advertisers to reach hard-to-reach audiences in new, high-impact ways. https://lnkd.in/eh6bpZTG
