Go Big & Go Broad: How Live Nation Boosted ROI with Total Audio
When it comes to Audio advertising, we’re often asked where a brand should focus their efforts: AM/FM radio, streaming, or podcasts. When the goal is driving sales performance, the answer is a clear ‘all of the above’. And that’s for good reason. Compared to digital-only campaigns, Total Audio strategies perform better—delivering on average 50% better returns on your ad spend. No one understood this better than our friends at Live Nation—who saw a 1,000% return on ad spend with this year’s Concert Week campaign. The advice here is to go big and go broad with a Total Audio plan.
