Sirius XM was formed in 2011 after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the acquisition of XM Satellite Radio Holding, Inc. by Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. Advertisers can now reach over 32 million SiriusXM subscribers. In addition to the United States, Sirius XM also serves ads to Canada and Mexico. Your ads will be heard in all three countries.
RSM Marketing SiriusXM Insights
- It’s a direct response media. Every advertiser we have placed on Sirius has been pleased by their actual leads, not just the increased volume on the website. It’s super efficient at reaching a national audience. The cost of one week typically is less than one week on 1-2 metro markets.
- It’s the best media to reach CEOs, business owners, and executives for B2B or premium product pitches. The news channels heavily skew towards 45+ males who own businesses or are C suiters. Audience count on CNN and Fox News exceeds 10MM.
- Recommended trial flight. We see the best returns with a minimum trial flight of three weeks (not necessarily back-to-back) with an investment of $18k.
- Value-add opportunities. For longer buys, Sirius can offer additional spots or sponsorships.
