Vi.oata radio New York Chicago Atlanta Los Angeles San Francisco St. Louis Dallas Detroit 'At Ogilvy& Mather, wethink radio is a greatinflation fighter:' Ken Roman, President, Ogilvy & Mather. In 1979, Ogilvy's radio billings were double those of five years ago. And in 1980, they jumped dramatically again. Why did Ogilvy & Mather turn up its radio volume? Ken Roman gave us some answers. Radio is good value. "The new environment of the '80s is inflation. Because radio doesn't face the costs of paper and equipment that other media must cope with, its price advantage should be even greater in the comingyears. "And since it is the most selective medium, with less waste, it could be the best weapon against inflation." Radio is personal. "Buying decisions will shift from the household to the individual; there will be more personal decisions. And what's more personal than radio? "It's with us in the morning when we wake up, with us going to and from work, and with us as we head to the store. "It's an invisible presence." Thank you, Mr. Roman. We couldn't have said it better.
