Launched in 1986 as Compumon Services and The Radio Register, Commercial Monitors provides advertising information and resources to corporate marketers, advertising and media agencies, government, publishers, broadcasters and educators.

Our current and historical archive of advertising content and information is published in a variety of online and hardcopy formats, suited to the needs of our clients.  It enables them to track and analyse competitors marketing activity, verify their own campaigns, review industry trends... even gain creative inspiration.

Our information management system manages 25,000 advertisers and more than 6000 contacts from the advertising, marketing and media industry, all integrated with hundreds of thousand of advertisements.

We archive thousands of advertisement per month from Australia across TV, radio, press, magazines, direct mail, outdoor and the internet.   Each advertisement captured is catalogued with metadata ranging from an advertiser profile to creative credits to media placement.  

Our creative library is searchable online and  dates back to 1993 and is updated every 15 minutes, although many clients still prefer a VHS, CD or DVD in hand.

We also track advertising and marketing news, people, account movements and creative credits to deliver searchable marketing information.

We deliver our services in a range of standard and customised solutions, suited to the needs of our customers.

Our headquarters are in Melbourne, where we and started business by enabling radio broadcasters to track competitive stations data reporting.
