06 · Tips

Tips for Morocco radio campaigns.

01

Frequency over reach

Radio works through repetition. Three plays per listener per week is the floor for memorability.

02

Match daypart to product

Drive-time suits commuter products and quick-service restaurants. Mid-morning suits family and lifestyle brands.

03

Local language wins

Local-language creative outperforms translated copy in Morocco, even for international brands.

04

Use live reads sparingly

Presenter endorsements drive trust but cost more per impression. Reserve them for launch or promotion windows.
