 More about the More Music You Love campaign

Jacaranda FM launched its brand new “More Music You Love” positioning in Sandton on, 15 February 2017 with an exciting world first in radio. For the first time ever, a billboard was used to tell a live story, lip synced to the station’s on-air music playlist during the breakfast show. The campaign was also intended to reposition Jacaranda FM’s position from being an 80’s and 90’s radio station to being all about music you love. To view this award-winning campaign, click here.
