OUR MISSION
There’s a big, fat elephant in the room.
So let’s just put it out there, so we can all get past it.
Commercial radio is broken. The magic’s missing.
It stopped being about music, people, culture and discovery, and turned into metrics, algorithms and demographics.
The Buzz exists to bring the heart and soul back to radio.
A place where artists can be heard again, and listeners can actually feel something.
If you miss what radio used to give you, you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong.

Grow your business
We don’t sell spots and jingles in the conventional radio way.
We build brand experiences.
We offer unique creative partnerships, sponsorships, and campaigns shaped around your brand, not a rate card.
We also create bespoke branded stations for hotels, workplaces, gyms and more.
We help you use music and radio in a way your customers and your team will love.
If you’re tired of the same old commercial radio model and want to do something more meaningful (and more effective), we’d love to talk.
Let’s collaborate
We’d love to hear from you

Who Are We And Why Should You Care?
The Buzz, it could well be said, actually started over 40 years ago, in a bedroom in North Manchester, with Rik and Adam making radio shows on cassette tapes with audio equipment that was more like furniture than technology.
