Why Brands Win When They Partner with Adam Montiel
For more than two decades, I’ve built my career on one thing: connection.
Not just reach. Not just impressions. Real attention, real trust, and real relationships with an audience that shows up on purpose.
Today, that connection lives across podcasts, social platforms, live events, and community conversations. And it creates a rare opportunity for brands that want to be heard, remembered, and acted on.
This isn’t transactional media. It’s relational.
Not a Traditional Media Buy
Most advertising models are built around infrastructure. Buildings. Layers. Overhead. People who never touch the audience.
This isn't that.
When you partner with me, you’re investing directly in a trusted voice, a loyal audience, and content people choose to spend time with. No filler. No passive listening. No wasted space.
Adam Montiel Connects.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of broadcasting, storytelling, and community.
That experience shows up in:
Long-standing industry relationships
A deep understanding of local culture and business
Thoughtful, engaging interviews
An energetic, authentic hosting style
Listener Connection is Real.
The audience response isn’t hypothetical. It’s documented.
Listeners describe the show as:
A staple of the Central Coast
Engaging, thoughtful, and personal
Something they actively choose to start their day
100% five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen when trust is earned.
Beyond FM: Digital Changes Everything
According to third-party analytics from Listen Notes, Up+Adam ranks in the top 2% globally.
By comparison, many traditional radio podcasts rank outside, the top 10% or don’t rank at all.
The difference is simple:
This audience is not passively consuming background audio. They are choosing the show. Engaging intentionally. And returning consistently.
That distinction matters for advertisers who want results, not just exposure.
Social Connection That Converts
On social platforms, engagement consistently outperforms larger terrestrial radio accounts.
In the last 30 days alone:
Nearly 100,000 Instagram views
Over 6,200 Instagram followers and over 10,000 on Facebook
Engagement rates that significantly exceed industry norms
Not just likes. Real interaction. Real behavior.
Radio is good at reach.
Up+Adam is great at connection.
And connection is what turns attention into trust and action.

Answer Engine Optimization is beyond SEO
