Use familiarity carefully
A familiar situation or feeling can support an idea without relying on a borrowed song or a decade-based cliché.

GOLD RADIO
Gold Radio is Global’s station for music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, with James Bassam at breakfast. For a campaign, the musical setting can provide useful context, but it should not become a shortcut to demographic assumptions. We would assess the audience, campaign footprint and proposition before developing a commercial that is easy to remember.

01 / PLAN AROUND THE AUDIENCE
WHY THIS
MEDIA BRAND?
The name is the starting point. The audience, setting and creative idea decide whether it belongs in your campaign.
Programmes and presenters named in the official brand profile:
- Gold Radio Breakfast with James Bassam
Programming and commercial availability are checked for the proposed campaign dates.
Give the voice room
A straightforward script and an understandable next step can make the commercial easier to take in.
Check the audience evidence
Use the media owner’s current planning information rather than assuming a music era tells you a listener’s age.
02 / MAKE THE ADVERTISING
Creative for the listening moment
We develop the idea, script, voice and sound around what the listener needs to remember. A clear proposition and a recognisable brand are more useful than trying to fit every product detail into one commercial. Our Manchester studio brings audio production close to the creative and media plan.
We develop and produce the work with the wider campaign in view. Your brand direction and team’s knowledge inform the creative, while we keep responsibility for the agreed production and delivery clear.

THE OPTIONS.
THE INVESTMENT.
Bring us the objective, intended audience, campaign dates and available budget. We will assess the options around that brief and explain the recommendation.
How much does Gold Radio advertising cost?
The cost depends on the campaign scope, placements, timing and creative or production needed. We check the relevant packages and separate the proposed media investment from creative, production and agency fees. A current brief is needed for a useful quote.
Can Clicks create the advertising?
Yes. We develop the idea and produce the advertising for the agreed formats. We can also work alongside your creative team or use existing brand material, with the message and the media plan considered together.
Can this work with other channels?
Yes. We assess the role of Gold Radio alongside the rest of the campaign. The message should remain recognisable while each execution suits its setting. We explain what each channel is intended to contribute and how the response can be assessed.
Ask for current broadcast, digital-audio and partnership options around the campaign brief. Specific shows, presenters, inventory and dates are subject to agreement; presenter appearance in a publicity image does not mean endorsement is included.
Channel and platform information: Global. Checked 29 October 2026. Media-owner imagery illustrates the channel or platform; it is separate from the Clicks client work shown in our case studies.
