According to Ultimate Media, technology allows people to work at home; most companies need to still operate and to a certain extent successfully turn revenue. However, working from home has its challenges with interaction and communication from management to staff and company to client.

Ultimate Media's new offering aims to assist business owners in providing their staff with business messages in an entertaining way. The voice messages are presented by popular radio station presenters.  

The 'snack-sized' audio newsletters are delivered weekly to Whatsapp or inbox, presented by leading South African radio personalities. They are also customisable for the people in respective organisations and are produced by Ultimate Media.

BiteComms™ works safe in the knowledge that communication with embedded audio assures a proportionally higher open rate than text-only communication.

"What will be tested during these trying times is the ability to pass on information; certainly e-mail and Whatsapp are fantastic tools but they require the receiver to stop and read," says Simon Parkinson, director at Ultimate Media.

"Companies sending out newsletters or long e-mails, giving their staff an update on the company position during these times, will have moderate success; we know the majority of people are unlikely to engage and read the entire content piece," adds Parkinson.
 
"But if they were to listen to a familiar well-known radio presenter giving an update from the various departments within your business, with commentary from your key players, and sent weekly via Whatsapp or the like, then this is more likely to be heard and digested," concludes Parkinson.
