…and pay close attention to the way devices and context increase the appeal of advertising

Trend #3

Location, Location, Location

Social networks are increasingly the conduit for mobile communication

Mobile social network usage will more than double between 2010 and 2015

Twitter: #eMwebinar

Location-based services have surged but aren’t yet mainstream

Checking in motivated by prospect of value exchange: obtaining useful information and finding deals

Marketer spending around location is starting to ramp up

Trend #4

Social Gets Its Share of Marketing Dollars

Social media is no longer an add-on for marketers

Usage of social media tools is still growing. 80% of companies with 100+ employees will use social media marketing in 2011.

Budgets are increasing. Marketers are shifting funds into social media and away from other types of marketing.

Integration is key. Although some companies have created separate social media departments, the more common trend is to integrate it across company functions.

The need for ROI is critical. Without it, future spending increases may be curtailed.

Twitter: #eMwebinar

Four out of five marketers will utilize social media tools in 2011

Changing consumer usage patterns make social media a must

Facebook is still growing. It’s a top site around the world and the fourth largest in the US (comScore).

Worldwide usage is rising. Six out of 10 frequent internet users worldwide have a social network profile (UM).

Brand interactions are increasing. Coupons, deals and discounts are encouraging consumers to engage with marketers.

More than 8 in 10 companies plan spending increases next year

Twitter: #eMwebinar

However, not every industry has adopted social media at the same rate—and some never will

Among those that do use social media, usage rates are approaching the level of email marketing

As marketers funnel more funds toward social media, spending on traditional forms of advertising is falling

Businesses are divided on who should manage social media

Only 6% have a dedicated group

Marketer perspectives: Intel and GM

“Intel has been an early adopter in social media, but we haven’t funded it as well as many of us would like. Social media is not free. We don’t want to tap into our paid media budget. We want to separate those two while driving deeper integration between paid and social media.”

—eMarketer interview with Kathleen Malone, Senior Manager and Social Media Strategist

“The brand teams have never budgeted their own line items [for social media marketing]. Now, marketing rightfully is becoming more involved in the planning and budgeting, and also the strategic side of it. The brands are now baking social into their overall marketing budget.”

—eMarketer interview with Christopher Barger, Global Director of Social Media

Although budgets are rising, the ROI question is still not answered

Trend #5

Real-Time Bidding

@DHallerman

Display advertising will be an even bigger source of spending growth than search

When marketers buy ads using real-time bidding, they bid on impressions based on:

The specific site The location of the ad on the site The number of impressions desired Any potential cookie data for segmentation

Helps marketers buy audience instead of inventory

Helps publishers sell lesser inventory at higher prices

Targeting typically demographic and psychographic (less so behavioral, so sidesteps many privacy issues)

What real-time bidding (RTB) means for marketers looking to buy display ads

Twitter: #eMwebinar

Demand side platforms (DSPs) and advertising exchanges: two key elements of the RTB ecosystem (ad networks, too)

Trend #6

Targeting Audiences vs. Content

Battle about targeting tactics is, in many ways, a battle between ad networks and publishers about data

Who owns the data? (gets into privacy issues)

Which method is more effective? (marketers in middle)

Which data targets best? (demographic goes two ways)

Is the audience equally receptive to message anywhere?

What’s the value of premium sites? (context vs. reach)

A bottom line question: What’s most useful for ads, community or content? (publishers can do both)

On one side, classic content targeting On the other side, only audiences matter

In 2010, four types of targeting used by 50% or more:

• Demographic

• Behavioral

• Channel

• Contextual

Audience targeting for display part of larger, holistic online advertising

Trend #7

Online Privacy Debate Heats Up

7 key factors driving the debate about digital privacy

① Consumer concern about being tracked

② Advertiser-publisher need to monetize

③ Combining online with offline data

④ Rapid growth of Facebook’s ad system

⑤ Rise of check-ins, location-based services

⑥ EU’s focus on stricter privacy protection

⑦ Consumer choice vs. marketer goals Twitter: #eMwebinar

Behavioral targeting: The more people know, the less they seem to like it

Marketers’ own concerns about privacy limit spending on behavioral targeting

Regulation: More people trust the government than advertisers (but most don’t trust either entity)
