Commentating on the trends, Eugene Du Plessis (main photo), Pathmatics regional director Australia and New Zealand said, “Over the last few years, we’ve seen a significant increase in brands jumping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials and this year was definitely no different.”
Though he continued, “It’s not just the big brands like Google and Samsung spending big but we are seeing smaller, local brands like BondiBoost and The Oodie get in the mix and invest significantly in digital ads to reach consumers.”
“As we edge closer to Christmas and the infamous Boxing Day sales, we only expect brands to continue to increase spend as they seek to capture some of the whopping $23.9 billion Aussies are expected to spend on Christmas this month.”
