This research comes after SCAiQ’s first report in the series, Audio Reach Amplifier, which found that 16.8 million Australians are listening to ad-supported audio every week and that it adds as much as 18 percentage points of additional reach to screens such as TV and BVOD.

SCA chief sales officer, Brian Gallagher said: “Whether our listeners are on the go, in the office or back home, this report proves that millions of them take action, and buy, as a direct result of audio advertising.

“Add that to the recency, influence and proximity to purchase that our platforms provide and there are compelling reasons for ecommerce advertisers to reassert their dominance with audio and drive business at the speed of sound.”
