Did you know? Premium news combined with advertising is proven to give a massively better result for the advertising! 18.1 million or 82% of Australians read the news each week!

Statistics prove that news has a heavily-engaged and economically-resilient audience, reading multi-category content across news platforms.

Evidence proves that placing advertising with news content in both print and on digital news platforms gives a six times higher brand lift than a general placement across the internet.

Print and digital news in combination generates 3.5 times greater brand lift compared to run of the internet social media advertising.

Advertising in printed newspapers or around digital news gives greater unprompted recall than the run of the internet.

News advertising is immersive, it enables impactful results. Readers are not simply doom scrolling, they are an engaged audience spending time on each page.
