Media Central x Vodafone: Weaving "A Stranger's Tale" into the Nation's Airwaves.

Here at Media Central, we recently teamed up with Vodafone for a campaign to launch the ‘A Stranger's Tale’ podcast series on Spotify as well as the brand’s Every Connection Counts campaign. The goal? To get Ireland listening and connecting.

A Symphony of Stations

Media Central orchestrated a full-scale assault on the airwaves, blanketing the country with Vodafone's message. Major national powerhouses like Today FM and Newstalk led the charge, while a vibrant network of Music & Youth stations including 98fm, Spin1038, Spin SW, iRadio, Beat, RedFM, and Classic Hits amplified the buzz. The campaign wasn't just about radio spots; it was a holistic content experience, featuring week-long promotional activities, engaging articles, and captivating social videos.
