Market Overview
Digital media is the fastest growing portion of most brand marketer's advertising investment. Consumers are migrating online at an accelerating pace; coupled with the convergence of television and online video, and an explosion in social media, this trend is transforming traditional thinking around advertising effectiveness. It is thus imperative that brand marketers master the digital medium. Unfortunately, this can be more challenging than it sounds in a digital media landscape that is drowning in data but lacking in actionable insight. To ensure they maximize the return on their branding investment, advertisers and their partners in the digital media ecosystem need simple but relevant metrics on audience and impact that can be measured and optimized in real-time,to ensure the best possible outcome. Brand marketers and their partners, however, have historically lacked access to these metrics and capabilities. Until now.
