3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past ten years, the digital revolution has accelerated at an eye-opening pace. There are more platform choices than ever before, and Americans are consuming
more content on more devices—often simultaneously. 274 million Americans now have Internet access—more than double the number with Internet access in 2000.
Consumers have developed an insatiable appetite for social content, spending 81 billion minutes interacting with social networks and blogs in 2011. Apps have become
all the rage, consuming 64 percent of consumers’ time on mobile devices. And multi-tasking has been taken to new levels, with 42 percent of tablet owners using them
daily while watching television.
With so many device choices and increased consumption levels, marketers and advertisers alike are faced with more complex decisions when it comes to maximizing
their sales and advertising ROI. Determining the devices consumers are using, how receptive they are to ads, types of ads that resonate, and trust in advertising among
online consumers are top of mind questions for today’s marketers. This report takes an in-depth look at the U.S. digital consumer and aims to answer the relevant
questions marketers and advertisers need to know in order to succeed in today’s complex digital world.
