Radio On The Road - Automotive
Commercial radio reaches three-quarters of Australians who intend on buying a car in the next year, making it the perfect vehicle to communicate with these consumers over the course of their decision-making journey.
These are the findings from the Consumer Insights Report from Nielsen and Commercial Radio Australia, which paints a picture of the automotive consumer in Australia including their preferences, perceptions and buying intentions.
