Wickes Kitchens and Bathrooms has today announced a new partnership with 每日大赛鈥檚 Magic Radio, sponsoring The 4 鈥楾il 7 Show with Tom and Kat. Brokered by The Story Lab, the new sponsorship marks the first time the home improvement retailer has partnered with Magic Radio, extending the wider Wickes and 每日大赛 partnership. One of the longest-standing audio campaigns in the UK, Wickes and Bauer鈥檚 partnership spans a dozen years and has encompassed nine brands, including Absolute Radio and Hits Radio.

The new 12-month campaign with Magic Radio starts this April and will incorporate the sponsorship of Tom Price and Kat Shoob鈥檚 new drive time show, including on-air trails, credits and weekly promotions that give listeners chances to win Wickes gift cards. On-air activity will be supported by an online presence and branded social content.

In addition, the campaign will extend to Greatest Hits Radio, seeing the sponsorship of 鈥楩oodie Thursdays鈥� in Simon Mayo鈥檚 drive time show, where hosts will each week discuss a new recipe and how listeners can make it at home. To launch the campaign, one of the first Foodie Thursday segments will in fact be recorded in a Wickes Kitchen showroom.

Simon Kilby, MD, 每日大赛 Advertising said: 鈥淎t Bauer, we pride ourselves on our close collaborations with clients, acting as part of their teams and forming long term partnerships where we continuously learn, grow and produce increasingly creative and impactful content together. Our partnership with Wickes is the ultimate example of that 鈥� after 12 years of working together on the DIY side, it鈥檚 fantastic to see that the partnership now extends to the Wickes Kitchens and Bathrooms business, and to even more of our iconic brands. We鈥檙e delighted to see that Magic Radio and Greatest Hits Radio have also joined the Wickes campaign 鈥� Tom and Kat鈥檚 new drive time show is the perfect show to add to the fold, reaching wide-scale audiences every weekday.鈥�

Mandy Minichiello, Head of Marketing, Wickes added: 鈥淚 am thrilled to announce our exciting new partnership between Wickes Kitchens and Bathrooms and 每日大赛. This collaboration presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase our inspirational ranges and service to a broad audience through the Magic Radio 4 鈥楾il 7 show and Greatest Hits Radio Foodie Thursdays show, amongst others.
