Realestate.com.au's new record high audience

February 17, 2020

Australia's Realestate.com.au has reached a new record audience high of 9.3 million[i] just in time for the latest advertising campaign to launch, leveraging the property platform’s market leadership position of having the largest and most engaged audience[ii].

The campaign, titled ‘Millions More Buyers’ uses modern illustration throughout the brand’s multi-channel approach. Digital, out of home, radio and TV campaigns aim to drive listing activity in the market as the Autumn selling season kicks off.

The illustrated story centers on successful sellers visiting an abstract concept of ‘Australia’s #1 address in property’ and is backed by music from German American duo, Sofi Tukker.

The artist behind the illustrations is London-based, Steve Scott, whose style mixes the contemporary with a nod to retro, having worked on a number of high profile illustrative campaigns around the globe.

Chief Audience and Marketing Officer, Melina Cruickshank said, “We are seeing extraordinary search and enquiry activity on the realestate.com.au platform, which shows we have entered a true ‘sellers-market’. It’s an excellent time to sell with so much demand.”

“We want sellers to know their properties will be seen by millions more buyers via realestate.com.au, compared with advertising off platform. By advertising on the platform with the #1 reach,[iii] sellers will be in the best position to secure a great result.

“We hit a new record in January with a unique audience of 9.3 million across the realestate.com.au platformi. We have approximately three times the number of average monthly visits compared to our nearest competitor,[iv] reinforcing realestate.com.au as Australia’s clear market leader.”
