Consumer Features
When you have timely consumer messages that are less urgent than an audio news release, we distribute “softer” news-features that can stand alone, or work as a series. These 60-second features can include soundbites from your expert spokesperson.
Consumers are listening! ConsumerFeatures are 60-second audio segments that include consumer and lifestyle news—and feature your expert spokesperson. They’re regularly distributed to radio outlets nationwide—and can be thought of as “mat releases” for radio.
