Over the coming weeks Christian O\u2019Connell, known for his warmth and storytelling, will spotlight the stories behind these much-loved pubs \u2013 the people who run them, the locals who support them and the challenges they face \u2013 with five pubs across Australia each receiving a $5,000 boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built on audience-led storytelling, the six-week initiative is a true cross-platform experience, extending across GOLD\u2019s national network alongside digital, social, out-of-home, and on-ground activations \u2013 reinforcing ARN\u2019s strategy to build scalable moments that live beyond radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARN Chief Content Officer<\/strong> Kerri Elstub<\/strong> said: \u201cSave Our Pub is a perfect example of how we\u2019re building modern content experiences \u2013 radio\u2011first ideas that are designed to connect across audio, video, social and real life.

We\u2019re proud to support this exciting project that recognises the important role the \u201clocal\u201d plays in creating connection, community, and memorable moments \u2013 over a cold beer, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenni Lees<\/strong>, Director of Integrate by ARN<\/strong>, said the partnership demonstrates how brands can play a meaningful role in audience\u2011led content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
