Winning strategy development, process, GROWTH.

It seems like forever consulting was done the same ole way in the radio business. Top down, focused on programming or sales. But the business changed along with buyers and listeners. So the time came when something new had to be developed that made more sense for local radio clusters.
Rainmaker Pathway Consulting Works (RPC) stands apart from other programming consultants for radio by combining strategic programming advice, guidance and coaching with action-oriented sales coaching — a blend rarely seen in traditional sales or management consultancies.
RPC specializes in helping local radio grow both ratings and revenue, not just one or the other. Their services span music strategy, morning show coaching, brand architecture, and sales strategy — all designed to elevate a station’s (or whole cluster's) presence in its specific market and turn that presence into measurable financial gain and to help the client create a process and path to growth.
Unlike older firms that have always traditionally split programming off from sales, RPC integrates them. Their approach recognizes that today’s media environments require programming and sales teams to work in sync: strong content drives listenership, the great brands value relationship. These important elements fuel advertiser interest and sustainable revenue growth.
RPC offer music lab reviews, branding enhancements, and talent coaching, alongside sales ideas and promotional ideas that drive revenue and ratings. They also help local radio clients with revenue-building tactics, ensuring technical execution and revenue alignment happen together.
RPC’s advantage lies in its holistic, hands-on execution tailored to each client’s brand and local market. Station values must rise and that cannot be accomplished in doing things the same ole way we used to do it.
New Century = New Strategy
Rather than selling modular products or abstract frameworks, they immerse in both strategic programming and profit-centered sales strategy, providing not just recommendations but actionable support that drives growth from the ground up.

Some companies are stuck in a rut; get out with strategic advice that will make your company money.

At RPC, we don't rely on opinion to determine music selection; we have a lab process for determining the correct music DNA for your station, your market.

We don't reform your talent into our image; we meet your talent where they are and find out what makes them special, then we leverage that for ratings & revenue growth.

We don't tell clients what to do; we work for you. And that means we love to explain the Whys of our strategy. This makes a world of difference for your talent and your sales team.

We don't deal in opinion. We are 'people first, process and strategy based in science next, encouragement and passionate execution to deliver compelling quality content and revenue impacting product.'

Before the first shot is fired. We know that everyone makes mistakes. This is why we use a scientific approach to music, a design approach to the architecture of the station and an art approach to coaching talent.

It's not just being a better station than your competitor - it's about standing out, breaking out, fame development and making sure our clients have opportunity to build strong brands. That always turns into more revenue.
