Gold Coast in short
How the radio landscape is shaped, and what that means for a plan.
A tourism economy, not a commuter suburb of Brisbane
The Gold Coast draws around 10 million visitors a year, and tourism is the backbone of a AU$55 billion local economy, alongside construction, health and the arts. That visitor volume matters for radio: audiences here are a mix of nearly 700,000 residents and a constantly rotating tourist population, so a schedule needs to reach both the people who live here and the people who are only here for a week. It's genuinely its own market rather than a Brisbane suburb, with its own commercial reach separate from the capital 80km north. Campaigns aimed at hospitality, retail or events do well leaning into that rotating audience rather than assuming it behaves like a stable local population.

| Goal | Recommended format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Launching a brand or a store | Recorded spot | Repetition builds recall, and a spot is what you can afford to repeat |
| Something that needs explaining | Presenter mention | A trusted voice can take thirty seconds to make a case a jingle cannot |
