As Australian marketers have increased spending in digital advertising, they have struggled to engage their consumers. Why is this you might ask? Studies show that 81% of all Australian consumers currently use ad blocking software so that as much as one in five consumers will not see any digital ads over a 30 day span. On top of all that Australia has the lowest click-through rates for banner ads throughout the world.
So you might ask yourself why exactly Australian marketers still continue to spend when their consumers are not engage through the digital medium. Australian consumers are buying more connected devices to suit their always-on lifestyle. They continue to spend more time on the internet than all other forms of media. From 2014-2015, the share of retail e-commerce transactions taking place on mobile grew by nearly 50% in Australia. As you can see Australians are increasingly utilizing their digital devices for shopping.

This has caused a massive jump in the number of Australian consumers using Ad blocking software.
