The duo says that the long-standing relationship has enabled Phil Dowse Media to have a deep appreciation for, and gain profound insights into, the South African market.

Phil Dowse, CEO of PDM, has emphasised the invaluable benefit derived from his experience working with the KMR team over an extensive period.

Dowse says that his years of engagement have provided him with a real understanding of the culture and distinctiveness of South Africa, enabling him to effectively leverage his global intellect from his vast network of clients and contacts and present it to the KMR team in a manner befitting the market.

Dowse has twice been named International Radio Consultant of the Year and works with many of the world's top radio stations and media networks, including:
  • the top Australian Network ARN
  • Europe's NRJ, and
  • the United Kingdom / European network Bauer Media. 
Dowse has also worked with several of the United States of America's major networks including The Walt Disney Company.

"Phil Dowse Media brings a wealth of international knowledge and experience to the South African marketplace, and we love being able to share, adapt and utilise this expertise to deliver the best radio content to our listeners. Dowse has been a real partner to our content teams, and they thrive on the cutting-edge information he brings them from around the world," says Nick Grubb, KMR's CEO.

Travis Bussiahn, programme and content manager at East Coast Radio, says, "We are delighted with the renewal of our partnership with Phil, whose strategic insight and global expertise have been invaluable to East Coast Radio. His ability to blend clarity with creativity aligns perfectly with our goals. We look forward to sustaining our track record of success with Dowe's continued guidance."

Jacaranda FM says that it is equally thrilled to continue its collaboration with Dowse.

"Dowse has incredible experience, skill and market intelligence, as well as a rare blend of pragmatism and humour. He's been instrumental in the incredible success of Jacaranda FM over many years," says Charlotte Kilbane, programme and content manager at Jacaranda FM.

"We are delighted that our partnership will continue, as we build an even better product for our listeners," Kilbane concludes.
