Mediacorp owns Singapore’s top radio network – with a suite of 12 stations that reach 88% of the country’s adult listeners.

The national broadcaster strives to go beyond the mainstream music, news, and views that the world is listening to. They shine a spotlight on Singaporean creativity – through content that champions local faces/voices.

So when 350+ local buskers were banned from the streets for over a year thanks to the pandemic, Mediacorp stepped in.

Introducing Buskermercials: a new format of advertising that gives buskers a new stage. An idea that blends the brand’s purpose of supporting local artists with its business objective of selling commercial spots.

This platform connects talented buskers with world-famous brands, who tend to seek ads with higher media exposure and lower production cost. The unemployed musicians earn 100% of the production fees. While the brands enjoy affordable placements for these memorable songs across Mediacorp’s stations.
