Sydney – December 22, 2023 – Data released today by Nielsen Ad Intel, Australia’s most comprehensive ad spend monitoring service, has revealed which brands invested the most in advertising in the lead up to this year’s Black Friday sales.

Nielsen’s list of Australia’s Top 10 spending Black Friday advertisers is the result of detailed analysis, which delivers an accurate view of retail advertising trends and spending for the month of November 2023. 

Retail giant Harvey Norman topped the list, followed by Myer and Chemist Warehouse, respectively.

Nielsen Ad Intel’s Australia Commercial Lead, Rose Lopreiato, said: “These Ad Intel numbers for the Black Friday sales clearly show that retail’s ‘big guns’ are strongly backing advertising as the best way to connect brands with customers during one of the most competitive retail periods of the year.

The large ad budgets involved in Black Friday make it even more crucial for marketers to make the smartest decisions possible about how they invest those ad dollars, utilising the very best data to get an edge on their competition and maximise their ROI, which is what Ad Intel does best”.
