The £50,000 campaign will feature live presenter-read ads performed by James O'Brien during his morning show, supported by a normal spot ad airtime campaign.
The campaign has been created by RadioWorks to promote its new software package, which allows business users to access their work computers from any PC via remote access.
It is hoped the campaign will encourage listeners to sign up for free trials of the software. The ads have been developed in accordance with Ofcom regulations, so that they are clearly distinguishable from programming and presenters may not provide personal endorsement for the products.
The presenter-read ads will form part of an ad break, along with a jingle, so as not to form any part of the general editorial of the radio station.
The campaign has been inspired following similar ad campaigns in the US and Australia, which proved to be a successful method of reaching consumers.
David Lloyd, managing director of LBC Radio, said: "The LBC format lends itself particularly well to innovative approaches to advertising. These live ads will enable us to capitalise on the immediacy of the medium and draw upon the communications skills that great presenters naturally have."
