Why Advertise On KISS?
Because KISS doesn't just reach young people. It moves them. It's where culture happens first, where the biggest tracks break and where the most switched-on audience in the UK chooses to spend their time. Your brand doesn't just get heard here, it gets noticed.
THE CASE FOR KISS
The Numbers That Make Us Impossible to Ignore
More than a radio station
KISS is a cultural brand. Music, dance, R&B, gaming, fashion, live events and social, it shows up everywhere its audience does. That means advertising on KISS isn’t just a radio buy. It’s an entry point into the world your customers actually live in. On air, online, on their feed and in the room.
Presenters who are part of the culture, not just commentating on it
KISS presenters don’t talk at their audience. They’re part of the same world. Sharp, playful and genuinely plugged in, they bring the same energy their listeners bring. That authenticity is what keeps 15 to 34 year olds coming back, and it’s what makes brand messages land rather than bounce straight off.
The music that's relevant right now
Rhythmic contemporary hits, dance, R&B. KISS is where the biggest tracks get heard first and the ones that last get played longest. This is the soundtrack to nights out, gym sessions, pre-drinks and late drives home. High energy, high emotion and always current. That’s the environment your brand gets to live in.
Built for brands who want to be where it's happening
Whether you’re a local business wanting to connect with younger customers in your area or a national brand looking to build serious cultural credibility, KISS delivers both the audience and the attitude to make it work.

Get in front of them now, before someone else does.
Age & Scale

Mindset
Culturally led and digitally native. These are people with high standards and zero tolerance for bland. Brands that show up authentically on KISS earn loyalty that lasts well beyond a single campaign.
Listening Habits
Everywhere, all the time. KISS listeners consume content across radio, social, streaming and live events. Advertising here doesn’t just reach them on air. It puts your brand inside a cultural world they’re deeply invested in.
