LOS ANGELES, CA, and SAVOY, IL, September 21, 2021 — Benztown, a global leader in radio imaging, voiceover, programming, podcasting and jingles, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Envisionwise, a Savoy, IL-based web design and development company serving radio since 2001, to offer its easy-to-use, cost-effective technology platform to enhance radio stations’ digital presence, while increasing revenue opportunities for stations. Envisionwise presented by Benztown delivers three technology products that deliver and maintain station Websites, Alexa Skills and Text Messaging service for radio: LinkedUpRadio, Pivot Radio and TextMeMan. Stations can activate one, two or all three products, with the convenience of one log-in for multiple stations. Envisionwise presented by Benztown also offers 24/7/365 live concierge support so there is always a live person to assist with the technology, as needed. The platforms are scalable and give stations more capabilities for less money, with no long-term commitments with both cash and barter options.

 

LinkedUpRadio is a custom-designed, affordable website platform that allows individuals or groups to easily manage all station websites, ads, content, and social networking in one system, with no coding or special skills required. LinkedUpRadio websites are designed for radio stations housing unlimited blogs, image sliders, schedules, photos, custom forms and much more. A variety of premium add-ons available for unlimited digital revenue opportunity.

 

Pivot Radio develops custom Alexa Skills for radio stations that integrate with Amazon smart speakers. Stations can schedule pre-rolls and outro advertisements while managing the Alexa voice and the visual display graphics through a simple admin interface. Pivot Radio handles all development, submissions and establishes an Amazon Alexa skills store presence for each station’s skill. Custom banner graphics are provided help promote skills and analytics are available to share with station advertisers. Pivot Radios newest skill feature provides an opportunity for stations to take client requests over Alexa.

 

TextMeMan is an affordable easy-to-use text messaging service that connects stations directly to listeners through texts for contests, giveaways, song requests, and local updates, including news, events, and advertising promotions. Listeners can receive both SMS or MMS messages, with options to opt in and out at any time. All technology is managed online from any location with no special software needed.

 

Dave “Chachi” Denes, President, Benztown, said: “What can I say about Jackie Parks other than she’s a Super Hero! She’s Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel and the Black Widow all rolled into one and Envisionwise’s incredible services can give stations super powers including revenue generation, time savings and listener engagement.”
