Purpose:

Understand the role of audio, and how it fits into the rituals that make up people's lives – their commutes, workouts, preparing for the day ahead and other daily activities.

Key Takeaways:

  • 74% of listeners consume audio during their daily rituals.
  • 40% of listeners plan their day/activities around audio content- audio IS a ritual.
  • Audio is part of more rituals than any other medium (11 for audio compared to 8 for online/streaming video, 6 for scrolling social media and 5 for broadcast/cable television.)
  • Audio infuses dull and routine daily rituals with energy and purpose.
  • Audio rituals span the consumer's entire day.
