Radio power

Two weeks into the launch of Perth FM 106.6, a bit of shmoozing and coverage on air, and myself, our sales exec. and our admin assistant were invited to the highty esteemed Perthshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2008.

The night included a three course meal, followed by an awards ceremony to celebrate the success of businesses in the shire, but most importantly, a fantastic place to network.

In one place we had the Lord provost, councillors, MSP's, MPs, staff of most of the leading businesses in town (or is it city?!), and they were all pissed. Brilliant.

We managed to get a free year's membership to the Chamber of Commerce, a promise from the Provost that we'll be switching on the christmas lights next year (taking it away from the competition), good contacts with the local politicians and the possibility of a free landrover safari.

Go the power of radio and contra deals!
