Durex is launching the world's first visible radio ad

Have you been told you've got a face for radio? Thanks to Durex's new app 'Durex Explore', this may no longer be a bad thing.

Have you been told you’ve got a face for radio? Thanks to Durex’s new app ‘Durex Explore’, this may no longer be a bad thing. Today,  the condom brand launches the world’s first visible radio ad to coincide with their new UK eCommerce site.

To consume the audio-visual experience, which works by using a mobile or tablet device’s microphone to detect the part of the radio spot that is playing, users are encouraged to hold up a device to the radio (with the Durex app open) as the ad airs. Those who do can then watch a video that is synced with the airing of the radio ad.

Commenting on viewable radio ad due to air on Absolute and Planet Rock radio during the afternoon of Friday 13th, Durex said:  “Radio ad cues to visuals down to the second, creating the world’s first radio ad that you can see.”A new digital trend? We don’t think so. Who wants to hold their phone up to the radio? In our opinion, there’s a reason this hasn’t existed yet.
