Why we exist

Built for radio, not retrofitted from other industries

RunBeat Media was born from a simple frustration: existing radio software is often outdated, overpriced, or built for a different industry. We're building a modern, integrated suite for UK broadcasters — from community stations to commercial networks.

☁️

Cloud-native

No rack servers and no on-prem headaches; the platform is designed to run in the cloud.

🇬🇧

UK-focused

Products are built around the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, UK broadcasting standards, and UK station workflows.

🔗

Integrated

Compliance feeds into playout and CRM connects to campaigns, creating a joined-up operating stack.

Product suite

Nine products, one operating system for broadcasters

🎛️

Pulse

Cloud playout automation with scheduling, live assist, cartwall, catch-up radio, and network broadcasting.

🛡️

Compliance

Automated lyric transcription, forbidden-word scanning, PDF reporting, and a two-year audit trail.

📈

CRM

Radio ad-sales CRM with pipeline, campaigns, proposals, Companies House Prospector, and Microsoft 365 integration.

🌐

CMS

Station website builder with 25 templates, page builder, listen again, events, and deep Pulse integration.

Contracts

Full contract lifecycle management with e-signatures, AI analysis, clause library, and approval workflows.

Live chat, AI chatbot, visitor tracking, lead scoring, and proactive engagement with deep CRM integration.

📡

Controller

Browser-based DAB multiplex control covering ensemble setup, capacity planning, PAD, and monitoring.

Core proposition

The platform compresses key station workflows into one stack

Operations

From schedule to transmission

Pulse covers schedule building, media management, live assist, DAB+ and online output, and local network splits for multi-station groups.

Regulation

Compliance built into daily workflow

Compliance automates lyric transcription, classification, reporting, and audit retention, aiming to help stations demonstrate due diligence under the Broadcasting Code.

Revenue

Sales-side tooling built for radio

CRM, Bonus, and Contracts support ad sales, compensation plans, contract execution, and workflow accountability in one commercial layer.

Infrastructure

Modern browser-first control

Controller replaces desktop-only DAB workflows with web deployment, monitoring, service configuration, and capacity-planning features.

Pricing model

Nine products. Every feature. One subscription.

RunBeat All-Access replaces your playout system, compliance tool, CRM, website CMS, contract platform, bonus tracker, scheduling app, and live chat — with a single integrated platform. No feature gates. No per-user pricing. Just choose the tier that fits your station.

Market lens

A focused wedge inside UK broadcast operations

Primary buyer

UK radio stations

The platform targets UK broadcasters, from community stations to commercial networks, with tools aligned to local regulation and workflows.

Pain point

Fragmented legacy stack

RunBeat frames incumbent options as outdated, overpriced, and not designed around the realities of radio operations.

Expansion path

Multi-product account growth

The suite spans playout, compliance, DAB management, CRM, bonus management, and contracts, giving room for land-and-expand sales.

Where the product-market fit is strongest

Go-to-market story

Why the commercial model is compelling

Recurring software revenue

  • All-Access subscriptions from £79 to £799/mo create repeatable revenue across five tiers.
  • Add-on capacity packs (users, storage, listeners, compliance checks) expand ARPU without tier changes.

Cross-sell built in

  • Every product is included on every tier — no friction to adopt new tools once a station is onboarded.
  • Controller is the only standalone product, available alongside any All-Access tier for mux operators.

Per-station, not per-user

  • CRM, Contracts, CMS, Calendar, and Engage users don't count against Pulse user limits.
  • A 20-person station runs comfortably on a 15-user Professional tier — competitors would charge for 20+ seats.

Trust and workflow fit

  • UK-specific compliance and broadcaster workflows differentiate against generic tools.
  • Deep cross-product integration — a deal closed in CRM auto-generates a contract, updates bonus, and sends a calendar invite.
🚀

RunBeat Media is building the operating layer for UK radio

The thesis: replace fragmented, legacy radio tooling with a cloud-native, UK-focused, integrated software suite spanning station operations, compliance, revenue workflows, and DAB infrastructure.
