Radio Is Poised for Growth and
a Thriving Future

Futurist and Chief Growth Officer for Publicis Groupe, Rishad Tobaccowala, addressed the radio industry at the 2018 Radio Show and aptly stated: “The colonization of the eyes is over; now it’s the colonization of the ears.” We are experiencing the golden age of audio and as technology evolves, radio and audio’s dominance will continue with consumers’ demand because of its unparalleled attributes.

In 2018, RAB’s advocacy efforts and initiatives focused on the amplification of ‘radio’s powerful story’ to ensure we reach our core constituencies of advertisers and broadcasters.

RAB is proud to fly the radio flag wherever, whenever, and however we can! From coast to coast, conferences to personal sit-downs, PowerPoint presentations to blogs & podcasts, we continue to be committed to:

• Advocate for radio and be the independent/industry voice representing radio
           as a primary medium for advertisers and agencies.
• Attract new talent to the medium.
• Enhance industry professionalism through the development of talent.

This Annual Report serves as our update to the industry of our 2018 efforts. On behalf of your entire RAB team, it is an honor to serve America’s radio broadcasting community each and every day in our advocacy, business development and professional development efforts.
