17% of national media budgets are spent regionally. That means, when you advertise in Boomtown, your brand reaches our highly engaged audiences in much less cluttered and competitive environments.

Never before has Regional Australia been wealthier, diverse and more valuable for brands and business. It’s easier than ever to reach over a third of Aussies by advertising across Boomtown’s media channels and platforms.

Welcome to Boomtown.

We look forward to seeing you here.

19 Million Eyeballs

More than a third of Aussies live in Boomtown (that’s nearly the population of two New Zealands!) so for greater cut-through, higher active attention and better returns, bring your brand to Boomtown’s big, bright, beautiful eyes and ears. Because they’re all yours.

Big Jobs Beyond The Big Smoke

With 14 of Australia’s 19 cities located in Boomtown, it’s hardly surprising that almost two-thirds of regional Aussies have white collar jobs.

Boomtown is brimming with big employment opportunities and regional job vacancies are regularly over 80,000.

Take it from us … that’s big!

Moving Out (Back)

For some time now, regional Australia has enjoyed strong net migration from capital cities, but in the past five years particularly, Boomtown has become a bona fide Millennials magnet. The average Millennial’s now 35 years of age and they’re growing up and out – young professionals and families flocking to Boomtown in record numbers to live their best lives. With home ownership within reach and WFA (work-from-anywhere) a daily treat, settling down in Boomtown never means settling for less.

THE URGE TO SPLURGE

More than a third of Boomtown’s household incomes are $100k+. Combine that with a lower cost of living and more affordable housing, and you have regional residents with more cash to splash than their metro counterparts. And they’re not afraid to spend it. Whether it’s fashion, furniture or flatscreens, regional Aussies’ love affair with shopping shows no signs of dropping, or stopping, any time soon.

Fully LOADED CARTS AND TROLLEYS

In Boomtown, the tills are alive with the sound of happy cash registers, because grocery baskets in regional Australia are 6.5% bigger than metro markets.

Australia’s online shopping industry is worth over $47 billion and regional is now outpacing metro, with three of the top five online shopping postcodes located in Boomtown. That’s great news for ecommerce and retail brands without a shopfront that want to reach large, engaged audiences when they’re ready to buy.

When it comes to Boomtown’s spending habits, everything just clicks.

There’s Better Odds Out There

Every year, record migration, record jobs on offer, record disposable incomes and more Millennials than ever relocating to regional Australia.

The outback just keeps outperforming, but don’t just take our word for it. 93% of people who buy regional media agree that Boomtown delivers on ROI and 88% are considering regional media as part of their next campaign.

Uncluttered advertising environments, lower CPMs, better cut-through, stronger SOV and outstanding ROI? You’re guaranteed to be backing a winner for your brand when you advertise in regional Australia.
