Virgin Radio is a national brand in UK radio built around a distinctive mindset rather than just a playlist. Optimistic, energetic and free-spirited, the station speaks to adults who have embraced the responsibilities of life without losing their appetite for joy, culture and spontaneity. Virgin is a rock-led station focused on playing classic and new rock, pop and alternative tracks, alongside guest interviews and live performances that bring the music to life for listeners.
As specialists in radio advertising, Priority Sounds plans, books and optimises Virgin Radio campaigns as part of our wider radio advertising services, helping brands reach a nationally scaled audience that listens with intent and responds to brands that share their outlook. Whether the objective is brand awareness, consideration or connecting with a high-value ABC1 audience, advertising on Virgin Radio via Priority Sounds offers an effective way to align with a lifestyle-led station that feels real, positive and culturally relevant.
This gives listeners the flexibility to choose the music era or mood that suits them, while giving advertisers the opportunity to connect with them in that environment. The result is a station that feels like a companion rather than a backdrop, shared with an audience who are grown up but not grown old.
