According to analysts at GlobalWebIndex, most people listen to music online, with 62% using streaming services. But why is the audio format interesting for advertising? Audio advertising doesn\u2019t interrupt a user\u2019s activity or distract them from consuming media content.

This allows listeners to personalize the ad message with familiar imagery, making the core message easier to remember. Additionally, audio messages are difficult to ignore.
