Digital Marketing Strategy
To explore the best channel for your digital marketing strategy and ad spend, you should preview what today and tomorrow hold for TV & digital video, TV’s dominance over digital, despite the rise of digital video viewing on smartphones, computers, and tablets.
The growing popularity of mobile devices is leading viewers to spend more time watching digital videos.
- The infographic shows that 78.4% of US adults’ viewing time was spent on TV, compared to only 21.6% of their time viewing a digital video.
- It also breaks down the average time that each demographic spends watching TV, with older adults spending the most time and the youngest viewers watching the least.
- The increasing amount of time that viewers spend watching digital video is bringing much more ad spend to the digital channel. As a result, TV’s share of ad spend will decrease from 39.2% in the 2016 year to only 36.8% by 2018, with those dollars being transferred to digital video channels.
