Big FM launches ‘Big Influencers Special', radio jockeys become social media influencers

Big FM has announced the launch of its ‘Big Influencer Specials’. The initiative has been launched with an intention to build RJ personas beyond radio for a larger reach, strengthen the brand’s presence in the digital realm and to bring forward their RJs across India as advocates for the brand.

As part of the property, RJ Jassi (Delhi), RJ Abhilash (Mumbai), and RJ Sangram (Pune) among others have already started generating unique and distinctive content on their platforms.

The ‘Big Influencer Specials’ initiative is aimed at enhancing Big FM’s marketing proposition for potential advertisers. Touted as an extension of their on-air presence, each property leverages the hyper-local presence of their RJs in their respective cities and provides influencer-integrated opportunities to advertisers.

Commenting on the Big Influencer Specials, Sunil Kumaran, Country Head, Thwink, Product and Marketing, said, “Radio jockeys are credible influencers in their local regions. People believe in them and have a great amount of trust. This aspect can be leveraged effectively by brands wanting to use ‘Influencer Marketing’ as a means to build trust in their offerings. We understand this opportunity and ‘Big Influencer Specials’ is our attempt to further grow the brand value of our talented RJs. We will have a series of initiatives built around the RJ’s persona and key market/consumer insight that will help build their presence across media platforms. Brands can take advantage of this initiative for their campaigns and now have a wider suite of benefits to leverage from Big FM.”

Meeting the requirements of advertisers, the initiative will have RJs like RJ Shruti, RJ Nitin, RJ Rashmi, and RJ Shiv among others who will be producing key content on their respective platforms around various topics that will engage the listeners and audiences that are beneficial to advertisers.
