Association
The Association of European Radios (AER) is a Europe-wide trade body representing the interests of approximately 4,500 private/commercial radios stations in ten EU Member States and Switzerland.
AER's main objective is to develop and improve the most suitable framework for private commercial radio activity. AER constantly follows EU actions in the fields of media, telecommunications and private radio transmission, in order to contribute, to enrich and develop the radio sector.
Furthermore, AER intends to promote the diffusion and the use of new technologies in radio transmission (in particular, the DAB system - Digital Audio Broadcasting).
AER encourages co-operation between its members and with other European radio stations and associations, in order to preserve and develop freedom of speech, freedom of enterprise, private initiative and the protection of listeners.

- Mapping
On the basis of Mapping, our strategic study, you can find the perfect format for your radio station or position the existing programme in a way that guarantees you long-lasting success. The basis of the mapping is a market segmentation based on the music and/or programme preferences of the audience.
-Music Monitoring
(Call-Out, Pooltest)
After the strategic decision on the perfect positioning of a station is made all relevant music titles should be tested at the important target groups.
-Charisma
Charisma is a custom-made research concept for the building-up, positioning and branding of radio personalities. The success of a radio station is highly dependent of the quality of single presenters. Especially the morning-show presenters should get their feedback not only on the basis of air-checks from experts.
-ARM
Audience Relationship Management is our modern tool for increasing the loyalty of the audience to your station. With ARM you tie your audience long-term to your station by using modern technologies such as the internet for the direct address of your listeners. We show you how you can systemize existing audience contacts in order to achieve information for new and custom-made programme contents at low costs. Medium-term you have the great opportunity to develop a effective multi-channel marketing system.
-Ad Checks
When developing a radio station into a strong brand targeted advertising and promotion campaigns gain more and more importance. We offer you in this context concept- and response-analysis (pre- and post-tests) of slogans, logos and entire campaigns. With our online research tools we are now able to check your campaign at your core target groups on your own radio platform in the internet.
