Currie Nordén are an outstanding radio research company.

We commissioned them to do a Format Finder/Music Mapping and a Library Test (AMT) for a new radio station in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana and the surrounding area.  The results were excellent.

They used the Music Mapping to help us create a unique rock format for the market.  It provided the secret recipe that was designed and optimised for the target listeners.

They then tested the individual songs with an AMT and worked with us to design the music architecture, music policy, song lists and categories.  They also helped with many other aspects of the radio station which became Rock Radio.

We launched the station with very limited advertising, apart from some fun and cost-effective stunts.  The results have been amazing.  The radio station has been a huge success with listeners, advertisers and agencies.

After just three months on air the station was already beating its audience targets for the first year, and the buzz in the city is great.

We have been working with a different research companys in the past, but I would recommend Currie Norden without reservation as a world-class radio research company.  They do excellent work.

Not only that, Francis and Niklas are also great guys who really understand the practicalities of programming a radio station.  They are also fun on a night out!

If you need expertise to help you launch a new radio station, or propel an existing radio station to the next level, you should call these guys.  they are the real deal.

Research is an essential step towards a successful radio station.

Enter Zagreb was lucky to have Currie Nordén doing that step for us and making a foundation for Enter’s rapid success in months that followed.

From being a completely unknown radio station in the capital of Croatia, with the support of Currie Nordén, in just six months after launch, Enter Zagreb became the No. 1 radio station in the area for 15-29s and No.2 overall.

We’ve worked with Currie Nordén during the past couple of years.

During that time SBS Radio Sweden has become the market leader. Their excellent research and guidance in complex programming issues has really helped our performance a lot as a group.

They have helped both strategically when it comes to our market position, and also by creating strong tactics for our stations.

I would recommend them with conviction!
