where the digital media experience is

scattered across an increasing number of

different devices and platforms. This new

reality not only demands a holistic

understanding of digital consumer behavior,but also the high-quality, objective audience

measurement to make sense of it all.

future of digital marketing is clearly going

multi-platform. Consumption habits have

shown that Canadians are more platform-

agnostic in their digital media consumption as

they seamlessly switch devices throughout

the day to try and stay current on email,

news, social media, TV-viewing, etc.

advertising, online video, mobile usage that

Summary of Key Findings

I li ti f th F t


43/48


The rapid shift to mobile means the future of marketing is multi-platform

Usage is shifting to mobile, but dollars are slower to follow. It will be important to both prove the

value of mobile and adopt a more integrated view of media to navigate this paradigm shift.

How well businesses integrate mobile audience metrics into their holistic view of digital media

will determine their ability to monetize and/or market efficiently.

Social Media will have a disproportionate influence on how the digital media

industry evolves

Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin are paving the way for this sector and showing how media cangenerate ad dollars through mobile and native advertising

The Visual Web is also emerging with properties like Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram and Snapchat

showing how social is becoming a more visual medium, making it attractive to brands

The Canadian digital media sector is poised for further expansion as

advertising measurement and mobile monetization improve

vCE and other forms of campaign validation are providing the metrics brands need to understand

campaign performance and put digital on similar footing as TV

Better metrics means better ability to optimize performance, which will continue to deliver

confidence in brands considering investing more in digital
