About this report
With the influx of new media in recent years– from online video and social networking to smartphones– the advertising industry is facing the question of how to most effectively utilize a rapidly expanding set of tools to reach consumers. The economic recession and the adoption of disruptive technologies should make new media more attractive to advertisers, but there is still trepidation in terms of what works, what annoys, and even what offends consumers. In this report, Mintel looks at how the rules of the game are changing as marketers struggle to better reach their targets.
