MEDIA PACK

The KISS Network, made up of KISS FM UK, KISSTORY & KISS Fresh, entertains more 15-34 year olds than any other Bauer Media brand and is extremely influential amongst this hard-to-reach demographic. These young people are always onto the next thing, they want or already own the latest cool stuff and have the devices at their fingertips to facilitate this sense of immediacy. It’s more than just dual screening – it’s about using multiple devices simultaneously from a mobile, to a tablet, to a TV, to a laptop! So how do we capture this fickle audience? By reaching them wherever, whenever, however, they want us which informs both our editorial policy and our commercial strategy.

From our youthful, peer-to-peer approach, to our innate understanding of the changing nuances in youth culture, our ambition to never stand still with our content solutions delivers the latest trends across each platform. The strategy encompasses on-air and online, proving digital is as important as radio, social as important as live events, and they all work together to create the ultimate 360 destination to hear, see, share and discover.
