jācapps, in partnership with Jacobs Media, will dig deep into the information of Techsurvey 2020, the radio industry’s largest online survey. We will share new findings relating to mobile apps, in-car listening via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and smart speakers. Given the fact that so many Americans are working from home, the importance of these platforms is higher than ever. Radio stations with a robust, outstanding mobile program have a significant opportunity in today’s new world.

According to Techsurvey, smart speaker ownership has doubled in the last year. What do broadcasters need to know about the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple Homepod? Will Alexa bring radio listening back into the home?

In This Resource You’ll Learn:

• How fast smart speaker ownership is growing
• What the key differences between these devices are
• How your radio station can take advantage of smart speakers

Our annual Techsurvey is the radio broadcasting industry’s largest online survey. This year over 560 radio stations and 64,000 radio listeners participated.

Spend an hour with us to learn some of the key takeaways from the study, including:

At jācapps, we believe a mobile app should be more than something that looks good or sounds cool. We believe it should generate revenue. Bob Kernen, COO of jācapps, discusses different strategies throughout this free webinar, brought to you in part by our good friends at AllAccess.com.

Topics within this webinar include:

• The different revenue models for mobile
• How to craft compelling mobile marketing solutions for your clients
• How to use new technologies, like geo-location and interactive advertising, to produce results for your clients
• How to leverage your airwaves to turn "ears" into "action" with your mobile app

The car is the number one listening location and revenue category for radio. Every month, the number of connected cars on the road grows. And today, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have gotten into the game. Fred Jacobs and Bob Kernen will help you better understand the rapidly changing technology of the connected car and offer steps your radio station can take now to ensure your presence in the automobile.

Topics within this webinar include:

• What’s coming to the dashboard
• How Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto connect users’ smartphones to the vehicle
• What limitations and opportunities are in the dashboard
• Who is your competition for space in the dashboard
• How to get your app into the connected car

When your listeners are on their smartphones, they spend 86% of their time using mobile apps — and only 14% of their time on a mobile web browser. That’s why it’s crucial for stations to have a rock solid mobile app strategy. In this webinar, we cover the basics that every radio broadcaster should know about mobile apps.

Putting your message directly on your listeners' phones is a proven way to drive app usage and audience engagement. News and weather bulletins, concert and contest announcements and program alerts are just a few of the ways you can reach your audience with the latest info on their mobile devices.
