Getting 99% of our target account list in Australia tuned into programmatic audio

The Trade Desk x Audio: ABM Campaign

Business Challenge

Audio advertising is growing in Australia — an opportunity for integrated ad platforms like The Trade Desk. However, most brands and agencies are buying direct deals with audio publishers.

Market Insight

Brands already know the benefits of advertising on audio. What they don’t know is how programmatic audio can actually do a lot more for their campaigns.

Brand Proposition

We positioned The Trade Desk as the only platform that lets them advertise across all of Australia’s top audio publishers, not just one.

Messaging Strategy


Audio with single publishers:
