Retriever Suite

A musical tribute to quality media planning

As an advertiser, you want the target audience to remember your message. To do this, you establish a link with the audience through a campaign, so that your message is deeply felt or understood. The ultimate goal is for your message to penetrate straight to the heart of the target audience, creating an enduring impact.

Therein lies the difficulty, and at the same time - if the operation is a success - the strength of a good campaign: how does the target audience retain your brand and your proposition? In English, as in many other languages, we learn something 'by heart' so that we remember it. In French, for example, we say 'apprendre par coeur'. In Dutch, on the other hand, we evoke the head by saying 'uit het hoofd leren'.

This goes to the heart of effective communication: creating a link between the message and the audience. This link can be rational or emotional. In all cases, a good campaign is like a harmonious piece of music that resonates in the heads and hearts of the people you are targeting, leaving a lasting impression.

To illustrate this connection between a campaign and its target audience, we were inspired by the power of music. Like a masterfully composed piece of music, an intelligent and creative media campaign resonates in the hearts of its target audience. This musical tribute, the Retriever Suite, was composed especially for Retriever and its relations by Viktoriya Anastasova. The Suite symbolises the harmony between data and creativity in media planning.

We cordially invite you to listen to the pre-launch of Retriever Suite Movement II Allegro Moderato (our favourite), the second part of this musical work in five acts that pays tribute to quality media planning.
The full album will be released on Spotify and all other online music services on 1 September. We look forward to continuing to explore with you how creativity and precision can work together to best serve your customers

Weather sponsorship opportunities on radio for climate-conscious advertisers

Never before has the climate - and everything related to it - been the subject of so much discussion, nor has it taken centre stage so forcefully. Directly or indirectly, everyone is affected by the impact of climate change. The daily weather report is a muted reminder of this development.

Advertisers with climate and environment-related products are offered a range of possibilities to link their wake-up call to this awareness. For example, RMB's METEO AUDIO offers the possibility of sponsoring the weather report on 5 radio stations. With 'All-in-One Météo', DPG Media also offers weather sponsorship opportunities on the Bel RTL, Contact and Nostalgie radio stations.

salon the brussels motorshow bms23

Magazine 'It's not a salon guide' continues as video on autonieuws.be

With the autonieuws.be website, the publisher Yesyes bv devotes special attention to the Motor Show every year. Previously, an annual paper edition entitled 'Het is geen salon gids' (this is not a salon guide, NDLR) was published, containing a report on the Brussels Motor Show. From this year onwards, this 'report' will take on a new form, namely videos distributed by brand on the autonieuws.be website. In addition to these videos, thematic videos will also be produced during the Motor Show, for example of car brands that will give us an in-depth look at their range of products and their engines.

This year, all the video possibilities have been exhausted. Agencies that represent car brands and are interested in video advertising for the 2024 edition of the Motor Show (BMS24), will find all the information about this advertising opportunity on retrievermedia.be.

CIM - Retriever EN

New CIM - October 2022 figures in Retrievermedia.be

The new CIM figures for October 2022 have been integrated into Retrievermedia.be. In addition to circulation and audience figures, you will also find pie charts with title profiles per title. These give you a clear overview of the audience per title, broken down by age group, region, language, social group and gender, as well as the index in relation to Belgium as a whole.

This year, there is an important difference in the universe compared to previous years: for previous publications, the age groups 13-14 and 15-24 were used. From October 2022 onwards, the variable 13-14 is no longer included and the variable 15-24 is changed to 16-24. As a result, from October 2022 onwards the total readers for the last period also relate to the age variable 16+.
