HEARD ‘26: AUDIO IS THE CAMPAIGN CATALYST THAT DRIVES GREATER EFFECTIVENESS

Commercial Radio &Audio (CRA) has revealed updated findings on audio’s impact on campaign effectiveness at HEARD 2026. The research, drawn from the Advertising Council of Australia’s (ACA) Effectiveness Database, was analysed by independent marketing consultant Rob Brittain and presented by Professor Mark Ritson. The analysis examined all Effie Award entries from 2018 to 2025, adding two years of data to previous findings.

The conclusion: campaigns with excess share of voice that invest in audio are significantly more effective than those without. Among these high performers, audio represents an average of 11% of total media spend.

The new research shows audio campaigns deliver nearly twice the impact for new customer acquisition (37% with audio vs 22% without), brand distinctiveness (40% vs 22%) and price insensitivity (23% vs 12%). Audio also connects with both head and heart, deepening emotional appeal (51% vs 41%).

Professor Mark Ritson said: “Audio is the catalyst in the media mix. Eight years of beautiful data confirms it: allocate11% to audio and you trigger a disproportionate effect across every key brand and business measure. This isn’t theory. You’re not spending more – you’re making everything you already spend work significantly harder.”

CRA CEO Lizzie Young said: “This data demonstrates audio’s ability to impact so many different brand and business objectives, proving audio’s contribution to driving profitable growth for brands. I couldn’t agree with Professor Mark Ritson more – it is beautiful data.”

Audio, Campaign Catalyst

ABOUT THE DATA

The analysis draws from the Advertising Council of Australia’s Effectiveness Database, comprising all Effie Award entries (n=595) from 2018 to 2025. These represent the pinnacle of advertising effectiveness in Australia, making it the gold-standard dataset for understanding which channel combinations drive business outcomes.

ABOUT HEARD 2026

HEARD is CRA’s annual audio advertising showcase. Held at ICC Sydney on 18 February2026, the event brings together Australia’s leading marketing decision-makers, media agency strategists, and brand leaders for peer learning, data-driven insights on the future of audio advertising.

HEARD ’26: EFFIE’S DATA REVEALS AUDIO DELIVERS A 33% EFFECTIVENESS ADVANTAGE IN REGIONAL MARKETS

New analysis of the Advertising Council Australia’s (ACA) Effectiveness Database (2018–2025), presented today at Commercial Radio & Audio’s (CRA) HEARD 2026reveals advertisers can unlock 33% more effectiveness with regional audio. Delivering stronger results for customer acquisition and retention, across short and long-term business metrics.

CRA CEO Lizzie Young said: “Regional Australia represents 9.9 million Australians – more than a third of the country’s population (37%), with five million tuning in to commercial radio weekly. These audiences are highly receptive, yet regional receives just 18% of media spend. Leaving a 19-point gap between where Australians live and where brands invest. That’s an opportunity for growth left on the table. Regional audio is more powerful than you think and the opportunity for brands to be heard is clear.”

THE AUDIO ANNUAL 2026: CRA UNVEILS INDUSTRY INNOVATION ROADMAP AT HEARD

CRA CEO Lizzie Young said: “Our announcements today demonstrate the entire industry’s commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions for our customers. We have been busy building a future focused on what our customers need, making it easier for brands to access the unique opportunity audio delivers.

“We outperform many other channels at every stage of the purchase funnel and on an ROI basis return two dollars for every one spent. Audio is an incredibly versatile channel that delivers scale, is multi-platform, integrated, efficient and effective – enabling brands to connect rationally with the head; emotionally with the heart; and drive action. It really is more powerful than you think.”

CRA Audio ID: Phase two

CRA CEO Lizzie Young said: “When you see some of the greatest digital talent Australia has on stage together talking about their desire to make the industry better for their customers, it’s pretty amazing. The sheer level of customer focus and technical expertise this has taken from all our members is incredible and the genuinely meaningful audience opportunity for brands is clear.”

Guzman y Gomez: Proof audio drives behaviour

At Guzman y Gomez (GYG), their proof-over-opinion approach is already paying off. Audio works for the challenger brand turned household name because it drives behaviour, not just awareness.

Speaking at HEARD, Lara Thom, Global CMO of Guzman y Gomez, named Australia’snumber one Chief Marketing Officer at the 2025 CMO Awards, shared audio is a key ingredient in the brand’s growth strategy.

Every brief starts with ‘sound on,’ and they operate a test-and-learn environment. GYG once turned radio off; the impact on key metrics was immediate. They turned it back on just as fast.

CRA drives the Power of Audio

Other key takeouts, industry improvements and marketer-focused insights include:

  • Local, trust and safety: 100% Australian owned and operated, and subject to rigorous regulation, the new CRA Commercial Radio Code includes additional obligations for AI transparency and a special care provision strengthening the brand-safe environment and supporting the position as the most trusted media channel for brands.
  • The original influencers: New research from Fabulate reveals audio talent generate more than 33 million social views on TikTok and Instagram weekly2 – a voice audiences trust at breakfast becomes a voice they follow, engage with, and act on – a great opportunity for brands to drive more value simply by integrating audio talent into social strategies. 
  • New attribution: Veritonic and Veritone are now enabling brands to track real-world engagement and impact of their audio advertising.
  • New dynamic creative optimisation: adapts brand messages to context using dynamic signals to deliver different creative for listeners in different environments.

Why it matters – Audio’s untapped potential for brands

Commercial radio reaches 12.4 million Australians weekly in metro with audience stability maintained for over four years.3 Regional commercial radio reaches 5 million weekly listeners. Podcasting is now mainstream: 52% of Australians consume podcasts monthly4, and CRA’s Podcast Annual 2025 confirms listening is up 6.8% year-on-year, with more than half now tuning in several times a week.5 Amid growing and stable audiences, industry revenue declined 2.6% in calendar year 2025 to $1.13 billion6 – a gap CRA’s new roadmap is designed to close.

ABC announces preferred new location for Adelaide office

The ABC has selected the Tapangka site in the Adelaide CBD as its preferred new location.

The ABC and the South Australian government will partner with Renewal SA to progress plans for a new Arts and Media Hub on Franklin Street (the former Adelaide Bus Station site), subject to the required State and Federal Public Works Committee approvals. 

The proposed new ABC facility will house modern production studios alongside content making, technical and administrative operations. Design, planning and approvals will continue throughout 2026–27.

The ABC, together with the South Australian government, representing Country Arts SA, State Theatre Company South Australia, and State Opera South Australia, selected the Tapangka site following a detailed feasibility study and site selection process.

The new ABC building is expected to be completed by FY 2031.

ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks: “Today is a significant day for the ABC and we’re delighted to take the next step with the SA government to secure a new arts hub. The new home for the ABC Adelaide location is fit for purpose for a modern public broadcaster.

Hon. Peter Malinauskas MP Premier of South Australia: “Our brand new Arts & Media Hub will serve as a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and collaboration in the Adelaide CBD. Franklin Street will become a portal for all South Australians to experience, participate and engage with the arts in a way they have never been able to before. It will ensure that the ABC has a state-of-the-art home in Adelaide to ensure South Australians will continue to have access to news and information they can trust, together with safe, engaging and educational content for their childrenOur Government is continuing to transform our CBD and make it a better place to live, work, play and create.”

ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN PODCAST RANKER

The Australian Podcast Ranker lists the Top 300 podcasts from participating publishers that are consumed by listeners located in Australia. The All-Australian Top 300 Podcast Ranker lists only the Top 300 podcasts commissioned by an Australian publisher, consumed by listeners located in Australia.

The Australian Podcast Ranker is based on a calendar month reporting period. The entities listed are ranked by Monthly Listeners in accordance with the latest IAB Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines. If you wish to sort by downloads, you can click on the “Downloads” column to re-sort amongst the existing data.

For podcasts with multiple categories in the RSS feed, we display and filter by only the first category.

The Ranker is commissioned by Commercial Radio & Audio and includes the participation of the following publishers and sales representation: AcastAdore BeautyARN/iHeartPodcast Network AustraliaAudioboomAustralian Broadcasting CorporationBBCDM PodcastsGuardian Media GroupHidden Brain MediaHODD MediaJohns MediaKinderling Kids RadioLiSTNR (SCA)Motorsport Podcast NetworkNew York TimesNews Corp AustraliaNineNova EntertainmentPodshapeRanieri & CoRSN Racing & SportSchwartz MediaSports Entertainment Network (SEN)Squiz MediaThe Australia InstituteThe Bye RoundThe ChaserThe Washington Post Podcast NetworkTOFOP ProductionsWavelength CreativeWe don’t have time for thisWest Australian NewspapersWondery.

METRIC DEFINITIONS

  • Listeners – A ‘listener’ is a single user who downloads content for either immediate or delayed consumption. Listeners are identified by a combination of IP address and user agent in accordance with the IAB filtering rules described in the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines v2.2.
  • Downloads – A ‘download’ is a unique file request that was downloaded. Downloads include complete file downloads, progressive downloads, as well as partial downloads in accordance with the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines v2.2 filtering rules (i.e. spiders and bots, data centers, one-minute of content minimum download, etc.). This process filters multiple requests from the same IP address, user agent, episode and date.
  • Publisher – An entity that represents a group of podcasts that it either commissions, produces itself or acts as the primary representative for that content in Australia.
  • Rank
    •  “Debut” indicates that the show is new to the ranker, making its debut for the first time in the last 13 months.
    •  “Return” indicates that the show has returned to the Top 200 after having not appeared in the previous reporting period(s).
  • Index (Monthly Podcast pop 18+) – Compares % of a podcast’s audience against the overall Australian monthly podcast listener population (age 18+). Eg: Index 125 “Genre X is 25% more likely than average monthly podcast listener to do purchase a new car.”
