About
kmfm partnered with EKC Group to engage parents and teenagers at key decision‑making moments, delivering timely advice and reassurance around post‑16 pathways. The ʻNext Stepsʼ campaign combined engaging audio content with targeted digital delivery and high‑impact social and video assets. Using a fully integrated multimedia approach across radio, digital audio, social media, video and online display, the campaign provided clear, practical guidance on post‑16 education options across Kent.

kmfm delivered a targeted solution for EKC Group, combining bespoke radio features with AIM‑powered digital audio, social media, video and display activity. Content was timebanded to reach parents and students at peak listening moments, with localised credits promoting individual colleges. Short‑form videos and social posts reinforced messaging, while YouTube and Kent Online activity extended reach, ensuring consistent guidance across platforms during GCSE Results season for learners and families.
