SituationKink FM is a radio station which o!ers progressive rock and alternative pop music via cable, internet (also mobile) and satellite for over 15 years. "ey o!er music that’s focused on the quality and less orientated at the pop charts. Kink FM is driven by music.
Kink FM wants to enlarge its market share by repositioning the (radio) brand.
TargetQuantitative
• Enlarge Kink FM’s market share from less then 1 % to 5% within 6 years.
Qualitatively
• Kink FM has to be seen as a controversial brand, carried and embraced by intelligent music lovers and seen as modern, innovative and emotional.
Target groupKink FM listeners are culturally connected. "ey are highly educated and have a broad interest. "ey are real music lovers. "ey listen to the radio, still buy CD’s and DVD’s, are regular concert visitors and are continuously busy with music on the internet. "ey are the real fans inspired by their favorite music and loyalty to their station.
StrategyWithout a frequency Kink FM has to lose the FM. From now on we communicate KINK. KINK provides intelligent good music to music enthusiasts. With this proposition there has to be a clear line to other stations.
Kink is the alternative, Kink is the messenger of music.
ConceptIf you’re completely dedicated to tell anybody who listens about the best of the best, the new sounds, the new bands, the best guitar player or greatest vocal of today AND tomorrow, you might as well call yourself a true Messenger of Music. People will worship you and pray you can help them through the day. You are their enlightenment.
