Radio Consultancy
Strategic Research Consultancy may involve a single (one-off) project or an on-going relationship. Consultancy involves the analysis, preparation and presentation of a detailed strategic report based on market data using BPR Xplorer.
The primary goal of research consultancy is determining the overall strategic direction for a radio station’s programming and marketing (the target market, format style, positioning and promotion).
Radio Strategy
Our philosophy is simple. We assist our clients in reaching a clear understanding of their target audience and of the competitive forces at work in the marketplace.
BPR does not believe in a single solution for all situations. We realize that every station, every market and every target audience is unique. We also understand that competitive markets are in a constant state of change and that requires a research approach that is flexible and constantly evolving.

Talent Check
Talent Check is a cost effective online research tool that can be used to graphically demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of audio and video content. In the case of radio and television it can be used to test shows, individual presenters and programming elements such as contesting, news bulletins, features and benchmarks. Talent Check can also be used to test advertising campaigns, promos and commercials.
One of the most powerful applications for the Talent Check is testing your talent or the talent of your competitors. You can also test talent and content that is still in the development stage.
Talent Check will uncover if the audience prefers one host over another, what topics spike interest, what topics turn people off, how they are engaging with a benchmark or contest, whether the hosts are talking too much, what happens to listener interest when the commercial break starts, what happens when they stop talking and the song starts.
Talent Check is a powerful qualitative research tool that has been used by leading radio and television stations around the world to improve their content and further strengthen their brand.

Music Map
Music Map are custom-built surveys which focus predominantly on music interest and opportunity across the total market. Music Map gives users the ability to listen to a wide range of music choices, allowing you to optimise the appeal of each segment and understand the fit and compatibility in building composite music formats.
We use a market representative sample for our Music Maps, ensuring that we provide you with a balance perspective, and the widest range of opinion, not linked directly to a current format.
Multi-language support and format optimisation that utilises source data bridges the gap between difference music segments to create unique music formats.
