By addressing these challenges and demonstrating the tangible impact of their digital audio advertisements, Nine aimed to drive confidence and trust with this and other clients in the value and efficacy of their digital audio ad campaigns.
Solution:
To address the challenge of driving sales and proving the effectiveness of digital audio ads, Nine implemented a comprehensive campaign strategy centred around audio advertising. The campaign included the broadcast of 15-second and 30-second audio adverts through Nine radio live streaming. The creative content of the ads strategically highlighted the various sales and promotions on the retailer’s products, tailored to each week of the campaign.
To accurately measure the impact of the digital audio adverts on foot traffic, Nine partnered with Azira to leverage their proprietary Offline Attribution measurement capability. This provided valuable insights beyond attributed footfall, including data on demographics, brand affinities, dwell time, and distance travelled within the attribution window.
Results:
The campaign yielded impressive results, demonstrating the value and impact of digital audio ads for the client:
The offline attribution measurement capability provided by Azira showcased a 36% uplift in foot traffic to the retailer’s stores, directly attributed to the digital audio ads
The exposed audience exhibited a strong affinity towards value-for-money offerings, with 20% expressing a notable preference for retail brands such as Aldi and Kmart. This finding further reinforced the effectiveness of the client’s sales-driven messaging in the audio ads.
The campaign effectively resonated with the target audience of professionals aged between 35 and 45. These individuals demonstrated a higher index of engagement with the digital audio ads, indicating the campaign's relevance and appeal to this demographic segment.
