Dear - nothing like knowing your audience intimately. My love for radio just went BOOM!
— Jonathan Mildenhall (@Mildenhall)
Mildenhall is the latest top marketer to be reached out to in Radiocentre's campaign promoting the benefits of radio advertising – following Unilever’s Keith Weed, Craig Inglis of John Lewis and L'Oréal's Hugh Pile.
Created by Lucky Generals, the new ad features a house song performed by Phebe Edwards – who has sung and toured with Rita Ora, Jesse J, Donna Summer and James Brown – and speaks directly to Mildenhall, telling him that "there’s just one place to be – on the radio for Airbnb."
Sixty- and 30-second versions of the ad launched yesterday and will run across national commercial stations including Absolute and Kiss, as well as local stations. The campaign is supported by press, digital and social media.
Radiocentre’s client director Lucy Barrett said: "Jonathan is a very upbeat person and this Ibiza house track has been created to give him a perfect upbeat holiday feeling.
"As other leading digital first brands such as Uber and eBay are already using radio we know that Airbnb would feel right at home on radio, which is fitting given its tagline is Live There."
Mildenhall joined Airbnb in 2014 after seven years as vice president of global advertising at Coca-Cola. Before that, he enjoyed a 14 year career in the UK agency world, becoming managing director at TBWA\London and head of strategy at Mother.
