Unlock your organisation’s sonic presence

With streaming entertainment at our beck and call, traditional audio advertising has had to evolve to keep a seat at the table. Enter programmatic audio advertising, a revolutionary way to market your organisation, elevating visibility through customisable engagement and targeted reach.

This week, we’re looking at how programmatic audio advertising – a key player changing the landscape of traditional audio advertising – can change the marketing game for your organisation.

The Opportunity

Programmatic audio advertising is a great way to get your organisation’s message in front of the right people. By allowing you to strategically place your audio ads across various platforms (including podcasts, music streaming platforms and even radio streaming), you can leverage the world of audio to reach your target audience in a truly effective way.

The Benefit

By incorporating programmatic audio into your marketing strategy, you open your organisation up to a number of advantages that exceed those of traditional radio. To begin with, you can reach 1000 listeners for just $35, a highly competitive rate compared to traditional options. On top of that, programmatic audio offers an interactive feature, allowing clickable banners for your audience to engage with, and making your audio campaign a multi-dimensional experience.

How to Do It

To add an impactful programmatic audio campaign to your marketing strategy, here are three steps to help get you started:

1. Keyword targeting
Unlike traditional audio, programmatic audio advertising offers a dynamic and data-driven approach, ensuring that your message is delivered to the right audience at the right time. Through transcripts and tags used in audio content, your selected keywords play a crucial role in effective targeting. A good keyword strategy will help get your ads in content that aligns with your campaign goals and ensures your ads are relevant to the target audience.

2. Additional audiences
Programmatic audio advertising gives you the fantastic advantage of using first-party data to target additional audiences and create a truly tailored experience. By incorporating insights into users’ music preferences, device types, and geographic locations, you can refine your audience segments. This allows you to maximise your ad performance and enhance customer relationships through customisable ads that resonate with your audience.

3. Remarketing your warm audience
Catch those conversions that got away through a successful remarketing campaign using programmatic audio. By using tracking pixels on your site, you can find and remarket your warm audiences effectively based on previous interactions with your organisation. Coupled with programmatic audio’s ability to ensure ad relevance with your prospects, your likelihood of getting that conversion significantly increases.

Programmatic audio is an invaluable tool to have in your marketing kit, allowing you to have a truly impactful reach and create meaningful connections with your target audience.

Use Video to Add Context and Personality

Video is one of the most effective ways schools can communicate on LinkedIn, particularly when the goal is to explain, reassure, or give context — not to entertain or impress.

For schools, video works best when it focuses on:

  • Short messages from principals or leadership teams
  • Explanations of programs, pathways, or learning models
  • Teachers talking through how learning happens in practice
  • Insights into industry partnerships or senior school outcomes

Used consistently, video helps prospective families and staff understand how a school operates, rather than relying solely on written descriptions.

Below are examples of how schools are using video on LinkedIn effectively.

Use LinkedIn to Support Recruitment, Not Just Vacancies

LinkedIn is widely used for education recruitment in Australia, but posting job ads alone rarely delivers the best results.

Schools that attract strong candidates tend to:

  • Share content that reflects daily life at the school
  • Highlight professional learning and staff support
  • Give visibility to leadership and school values

When job opportunities are shared within this broader context, they reach candidates who already have a sense of alignment with the school.

Encouraging staff to share roles within their own networks further strengthens reach and improves candidate quality.

LinkedIn works best for schools when it is treated as a long-term brand channel rather than a noticeboard.

By focusing on people, consistency, and clear communication, education marketers can use LinkedIn to support recruitment, engagement, and reputation-building — without overcomplicating the process.
