As Inside Radio reports, a new study titled “The Audio Amplification: The Return on Ad Spend,” found that a 1.2% shift of media investment to audio would cause brands’ return on audio ad spend to improve by up to 23%. Conducted by Neustar and commissioned by Audacy, the study looked at 40 advertiser models among the auto, retail, financial service, and telecom categories. Results confirmed earlier research by Westwood One and others, showing that—in addition to dramatically improving a brand’s ROAS—audio also boosted the performance of TV ads, paid search, and online video advertising. Across categories, every dollar invested in audio was shown to have a 74% to 83% direct impact on incremental sales.
