New research shows that advertising on Irish radio is highly trusted compared to other advertising formats

In addition to having to think about challenges like brand growth and ad avoidance, marketers need to increasingly focus on building trust with consumers.

Nielsen's Trust in Advertising Study was conducted in September 2021 and Irish specific data was released in June this year. The data shows that advertising on Irish radio is highly trusted while there are significantly lower levels of trust with online advertising formats. 78% of Irish adults stated that they "trust completely" or "trust somewhat" advertising on radio. In comparison. trust levels for online video ads and ads on social media were much lower, at 46% and 35% respectively.
