What role does gender play in advertising? Does the type of voice used to deliver information matter?

Kagiso Media Radio’s neuro research highlights that consumers often respond more positively to female voices, associating them with warmth, trustworthiness, and relatability, which leads to increased attention levels compared to male voices in certain categories.

This trend is particularly significant in the diverse South African market, where storytelling and emotional connections are vital for impactful advertising. By adopting a gender-balanced approach in audio advertising strategies, companies can effectively capture attention and cultivate deeper connections with their audiences, ultimately driving brand loyalty and growth.

Contact our Research Manager, Melissa Mc Nally, to find out how you can partner with SoundInsights to test your ads and discover which voice aligns best with your campaign objectives: [email protected]
