About Us

CD Media brings together two of the radio industry's most experienced, seasoned and successful content strategists and programmers — Duncan Campbell and Phil Dowse, the architects behind ARN Media's most successful decade ever. This wasn't incremental progress, it was total market leadership achieved through bold strategy, elite talent curation, innovative programming and relentless execution that set new benchmarks for audience engagement and commercial success.

CD Media stands apart as a fundamentally different partner. It pairs proven foundational programming expertise with fresh, disciplined innovation into measurable, over-delivered results.
CD Media is a consultancy built for the future — offering a range of services from music and market research, show and talent analysis and a suite of consultancy options including a world first, No Win No Fee consultancy.
