SERVICES
Christian broadcasters hire Mark Ramsey Media for insightful and useful strategic research which helps grow audiences, grow donors, and grow impact.
MRM provides three primary types of services...
STRATEGIC RESEARCH
MRM helps Christian Broadcasters reach and impact more listeners every day. Insightful findings. Smart actions. And a specific action plan that every client station puts to work right away.
ACTION PLAN
Media is kinetic - it never stops. Choices proliferate and listeners change. MRM anticipates that change based on years of research in the format. Then we bring together learnings from across our client base and share them with clients who transform that insight into action and results.
FUNDRAISING
Many of our clients are supported by their fans. We can help you transform "donors" into "members" through a series of strategies and tactics designed to grow the donor base and provide new value to listeners who would never respond to a traditional share solicitation.
WHAT YOUR PEERS SAY
Mark Ramsey may be the smartest man in radio. His ability to glean what's between the lines in the data, how to put it to work to increase your strength, and what's on the future horizon are invaluable to anyone planning on staying in the industry
Mark Ramsey’s involvement in Christian Media over many years equips him with a greater understanding of the Christian listener and consumer than anyone else.
