## **Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Australia**

### **Why The Australian Matters in Australia**

The Australian is Australia's national broadsheet, and its four-week cross-platform reach of 4.06 million (July 2023 to June 2024) gives it scale that a specialist business title does not. For investors and senior professionals it works as the broad national environment, with the AFR as the specialist one.

### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience**

- **Reach.** 1.82 million four-week print reach and 4.06 million cross-platform, July 2023 to June 2024.
- **Paying news readers overall.** Australians who pay for news hold about A$162,000 in savings and investments against A$73,000 for the average Australian, are 23% more likely to own a home and 25% more likely to be big spenders (ThinkNewsBrands, Roy Morgan, February 2024). It covers paying news readers as a group, not The Australian alone.
- **Not published.** We found no public figure for the share of readers who are high-net-worth or investors.

### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place**

Use The Australian when the goal is national scale among engaged, paying news readers, and the Saturday edition when you want a weekend reading mindset. If the brief is investors specifically, plan it as a pair with the AFR rather than a substitute.

### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here**

The Australian is the national broadsheet, and its Wealth coverage and weekend edition make it a useful partner to the Financial Review. For brands that want to reach business owners, investors and senior professionals across Australia, it adds a different, more national and political-business readership.

**How we would use it.** Use it as the second pillar of an Australian plan, with the Financial Review for market-focused readers and The Australian for a broader national business and affluent audience. Favour the weekend edition and the Wealth section.

**Our guidance.** We select the sections and positions, with the Wealth section and the weekend edition first, so the placement sits beside the right content.

### **How We Would Run Your The Australian Campaign**

We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.

The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted to the publication's formats, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
