Having specialised in premium Transit Media solutions for over a decade, we know that Transit Media can deliver real results for brands. The majority of Australians leave home every day for work or leisure, and Transit Media is perfectly placed to reach all audiences including vehicular, pedestrian and commuter traffic.
Out-of-Home Media’s effectiveness is well established. Audiences outside the home are proven to be more alert and likely to act, and when paired with other media channels, Out-of-Home Media is proven to improve campaign ROI¹.
Why Transit Media?
Why Transit Media? Because it works! TorchMedia and GfK’s Transit Media Effectiveness Study, En Route to Engage², highlighted the strengths of Transit Media – including its crucial role in the consumer journey for commuter audiences.
The study found that 71% of commuters take action within the first 7 days of seeing an ad on public transport – with 1 in 6 going on to purchase the goods or services advertised. In addition, 32% researched the product or service advertised and 22% considered purchasing the product or service.
At TorchMedia, we want to help our clients understand how their Transit campaigns can achieve a range of core marketing objectives. In addition to commissioned research, TorchMedia has also worked with research partners to produce bespoke Brand Lift Studies for advertisers. These quantitative studies analysed responses from a specific target audience, surveyed both pre and post campaign, against key metrics including brand awareness, consideration, ad recall and brand sentiment.
