    Have you had a chance to try out the radio and television through Google? We are doing some tests with radio and so far it seems to be going well. I am very lucky to have a couple big fish that are more concerned with brand awareness, definitely makes things easier. Really enjoying the site targeting as well, CPC is better, audience more productive.

    Nope, I do not think we’ve done any substantial radio work with clients yet. We focus on direct response, so the branding angle is often given lower priority by our clients.
