#FutureinFocus

Executive Summary
Media fragmentation is occurring at light speed in todays multi-platform environment, which features not only computers, but smartphones, tablets, gaming platforms and a seemingly ever-increasing number of emerging devices. The strong swelling of mobile audiences, devices and consumption habits have shown us that consumers have become more platform agnostic in their digital media consumption and happily switch devices throughout the day and into the night to stay up to date on email, news, social media etc. comScore has been preparing for a future scenario where most people will consume content on the go and PCs would no longer be the centre of the digital universe. This future is quickly becoming a reality. The following report examines how the latest trends in web usage, online video, mobile and search, social and shopping are currently shaping the UK digital marketplace and what that means for the coming year, as comScore helps bring the digital future in focus.

2013: Putting the Future in Focus

ADAPTABLE ANALYTICS REQUIRED


This past year saw digital medias continued rise in prominence as part of peoples personal lives and in business environments. Consumers are quickly becoming platform agnostic in their digital media consumption and in todays world they can choose when and how theyd like to consume content. It might be that they started watching a film at home on their TV, continued watching it on their smartphone on the way to work, and finished watching it in bed at night on their tablet. Its the pinnacle of convenience for consumers, but an utter headache from an audience measurement and advertising analytics standpoint. comScore has adapted to this changing digital world to become a trusted resource for understanding cross-platform consumer behaviour and enabling multi-platform unification of all data. Consumers have already adopted multiple platforms and devices 2013 is the year businesses need to follow if they desire a unified, platform-agnostic view of consumer behaviour.

MULTI-PLATFORM TAKES CENTER STAGE


With the platform shift in full swing, businesses will be challenged in the coming year to stay ahead of consumers usage curve and deliver them with the content they want, when and where they want it. It will also be imperative to maintain revenue streams in the core digital channels while capturing market share and monetizing emerging channels. Doing so will require businesses to get even smarter in how they scale their content to other platforms by developing integration strategies that deliver unique offerings to advertisers. Integration between delivery of content and the ability to deliver campaigns in a multi-platform fashion remains a challenge, but the companies who facilitate this form of platform agnostic strategy will enhance value to marketers, simplify campaign management for agencies and foster greater pricing equilibrium between their content channels. As the bridge between traditional and digital platforms, online video will play an important leading role in how these integration strategies materialize.

VALIDATION MATTERS
According to ZenithOptimedia's Advertising Expenditure Forecasts, APAC is already the largest advertising market outside North America. Internet ad expenditure is set to overtake that of newspapers by the end of 2014. By 2015, online advertising will account for 21.9% of all adspend. While delivering advertising at scale remains important, an increased premium on accountability and performance means advertisers may be sacrificing quantity for quality whether that means leveraging more rich media, experimenting with larger ad units, or demanding ad viewability. comScores vCE benchmark study about viewable impressions over 1000s of campaigns, showed that an average of 54% ads were never actually seen by their target audiences. It is more important than ever for advertisers to evaluate campaign viewability to improve optimisation and maximise the return on their media spend. Look for advertisers to demand more accountability and publishers to reconfigure site design and ad inventory to improve performance in the coming year.
