Smart speakers have transformed how people interact with audio content. Alexa usage has grown by 30% year-on-year, showing increased consumer reliance on voice assistants (Amazon), and according to RAJAR Q3 2024:
- 63% of smart speaker users listen to the radio on their devices.
- 22% tune in to the radio every day via their smart speaker.
- Smart speaker listening has grown 11% year-on-year, reflecting their increasing popularity.
- Smart speaker listening now accounts for 10.8% of all radio listening in the UK.
This presents a significant opportunity for brands to engage consumers where they’re most attentive: at home, through devices they trust. Ready to find out more?
Actionable Audio Ads: Driving Engagement Through Voice
One of the most exciting innovations in smart speaker advertising is actionable audio ads. These ads go beyond traditional radio spots by enabling listeners to interact directly using voice commands. Imagine your target audience hearing your ad and being able to:
- Place an order instantly.
- Request more information.
- Book an appointment seamlessly.
Actionable audio ads combine convenience with immediacy, creating a frictionless experience that drives results. With features like live tracking, end-to-end attribution, and detailed post-campaign analysis, you’ll have all the data you need to measure success.
