Strategy, process, creativity and GROWTH.
We are different in that our practice focuses on growth. This includes helping local radio clients grow stronger local radio brands and helping reframe the local sales narrative around momentum creation. Many have seen their revenue challenges become more significant. It’s not too late for your business to experience rebirth. We focus on fundamentals and ideas that create opportunities for your team to grow sales and profit margin.
We know that real radio brands are worth more and can charge more for advertising because they are worth it. We teach controlling the narrative on both the programming and sales side of our business so they cooperate to elevate your revenue and profit. If you struggle in any of these areas, think of us as an opportunity to score two (2) consulting practices for the price of one.
We encourage the development of strategy, process and execution that will put you on the path for growing revenue and building a more robust media business.
Our services include (but are not limited to):
Brand Strengthening
Rev Gen
When is the last time you have been encouraged too much in the radio business? Never, right? That’s what we thought and we are doing something about it. This includes what we do with clients, but you can also start geting a feel for our encouragement by reading our regular sales columns in RadioInk.com or the even more specific sales column in Radio Ink magazine or any and all of our 1,250+ articles of encouragement on our website.
Learn more about our support of local radio by listening to The Encouragers™ The Radio Rally™ podcast (Apple, Audible, Spotify).
You don’t have a programming consultant that also helps you GROW REVENUE? Our clients do. Check out our quarterly radio sales events, where we encourage local radio sellers anywhere to grow their revenue THIS quarter.
Radio has largely lowered the expectations listeners can have of local radio brands in the last 30 years, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Experience what your operation can be like when you shift expectation and have a consulting partner who helps you support team, team accomplishment and transformation into a growth machine.
Ask us about our “Can’t Replacement Theory,” how we help your on-air talent grow endorsements, our value placed on sales recruiting, training and “time spent selling.”
You work hard enough. Think about having a conversation with us about your challenges and how we can help. We’re a quarter of the way into the 21st Century. You need every advantage you can get to grow. If you’re not growing, you’re dying.
Let us help you and your team grow.
Thank you for allowing us to be on your strategic team.

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