Whether your goal is to boost brand awareness by working on your branding, generate traffic to your physical stores, convert new customers or retain those who already love your products or services, one key element to your marketing strategy today is making your campaigns multi-channel.
Nowadays, your audiences consume branded content everywhere, on different media and on different channels. That's why multi-channel marketing is becoming the key to reaching them where they are, across multiple touch points.
To capitalize on this trend, you have probably already set up marketing campaigns through mailing, SMS, social media or search engines.
But have you thought about adding these 4 innovative advertising channels to your multi-channel campaigns?
Audio advertising is becoming an increasingly important part of multi-channel brand campaigns, and for a good reason!
It is an ideal channel to reach your audiences in their private moments, since 82% of audio listening is done alone. It also helps generate traffic on your website, as well as research on your products: more than half of the targets listen to these ads while having an activity on the Internet (source: Soundcast 2022).
Audiences who are fond of audio are rather sedentary, with an overrepresentation of men aged 15 to 34, active and urban. If these are your key targets, you definitely should think about investing in this communication channel!
You can launch campaigns on audio replay platforms, on smart and web radios, in podcasts, or on streaming platforms like Spotify.

From casual gamers to avid technophiles, several profiles can be targeted with this type of campaign!
You can place your ads in mobile games, in console games (such as XboX or Playstation), or on streaming platforms such as Twitch, Facebook Gaming and YouTube Gaming.
