Exclusive research on Australia’s media viewing preferences and consumption.

EXCLUSIVE RESEARCH: Australia’s media viewing preferences and consumption

Switch Media commissioned a body of primary research* that explored Australia’s media viewing preferences and consumption habits. Exclusive to Switch Media, the research findings cover perception around streaming habits, quality and services, multi-device and multi-viewing habits.

Some key findings include:

  • Netflix, ABC, and SBS are viewed as providing the best overall user experience with 97%, 93% and 90%, respectively, of their audiences rating their experience above average.

  • Australians have used an average of 4.3 streaming services.

  • Close to half (39%) of consumers use a laptop or desktop to watch streamed content, 34% use an Apple iPad, and 30% percent use an iPhone. The Smart TV was close behind at 28%.

  • The most popular place to watch streamed content is the living room (86%), followed by the bedroom (57%), while 15% viewed streamed content while in the bathroom or on the toilet.

  • While a benefit of streaming is that it can be viewed while out and about, only 14% watch streamed content on public transport and 6% watch while travelling in the car.

Presentation: OTT monetization – insights from exclusive consumer and global research to achieve maximum monetization effectiveness and revenue.

Mark Wilson, COO and Head of Product, Switch Media 

92% of viewers are likely to change their viewing behaviour due to poorly inserted ads, and 68% prefer one long ad to multiple short ones. Come along to hear Mark Wilson share insights such as these on the streaming habits of Australians derived from research commissioned exclusively by Switch Media.

Findings from the quantitative survey cover perception around streaming habits, quality and services, multi-device and multi-viewing habits. With a specific focus on advertising, insights reveal viewer preferences and tolerance around things such as the number of ads per hour, ad placement (pre, mid, post), ad targeting and ad length.

Mark will also draw on global research with insights around ad placement, effectiveness and ad-blocking for a comprehensive and strategic approach on how to defeat ad-blockers and best serve ads to your audience for maximum effectiveness and revenue.

* Research: Streaming Habits of Australians. Commissioned by Switch Media and undertaken by Stable Research. December 2017.
