Introduction – Foreword

“We are proud to release the first Eyeota Annual Index, which uncovers global
audience data spend trends for 2015.
This edition is a significant one as we mark one year of launching the Eyeota Index. The
year-on-year comparisons add tremendous value to any advertiser or buyer as these
insights can be leveraged to understand market trends and plan ahead.
Eyeota occupies a strategic position within the digital advertising ecosystem, having
built integral relationships with all major global and regional ad buying platforms,
trading desks, DSPs, DMPs and ad networks.
We sought to make use of the huge volume of transactional data we collect on a
continual basis to identify advertising sectors that are leading the way in audience
data usage and which segments are being used to target customers.
The Eyeota Index contains data tracking thousands of campaigns executed by
hundreds of agencies across 60 countries.
We have developed our own proprietary Indices, The Eyeota Growth and Eyeota Price
Indices. These are beneficial to all parties. For advertisers, it provides a rare window into
how their peers in their category are using data and which audience segments work
well for specific advertiser sectors. Publishers gain further insights about the most
sought-after data segments, and the types of advertisers purchasing them.
Each region has its own unique factors driving audience data spend. I hope that this
report will be a useful guide for advertisers, media buyers and publishers in staying
updated with the latest trends in global audience data spend.
More importantly, the Eyeota Index seeks to help all parties to understand their target
audiences in a new way – as human beings.”

Seasonal Trends
4
Several
sectors
demonstrate
demarcated
seasonal
tendencies
and
trends
when
buying
audience
data.

The Travel & Leisure sector showed a marked increase in Q1 in Europe when users tend to book their holidays for the
rest of the year. In contrast, APAC’s Travel & Leisure peak was in Q4 during Australia’s peak summer travel period.
Retailers, in particular supermarkets, department stores and online stores, concentrated their audience data expenditure around
the end-of year holiday season with a focus on seasonal segments: gift buyers, grocery shopping mums, holidays cooks/holiday
shopping and grocery shopping.
Also driven by the holiday season, the FMCG sector increased audience data spend at the end of the year, largely on Seasonal
segments such as Christmas holiday gift buyers. The sector showed a secondary peak in Q3 surrounding an increase in marketing
during the back-to-school period as some shoppers began their shopping up to a month before school started, with annual
spending per household around the back-to-school period averaging $434 in the US (Source: Deloitte) and £236 per child in the UK
(Source: Santander).
Digital advertising and audience data, as a by-product, play an ever increasing role in Political Elections. As a result, Q1 2015 saw
significant expenditure for electoral candidate relevant profiles such as university educated audiences, current students and small
business professionals for the government elections in the United Kingdom. A similar and enhanced peak is expected for the
upcoming 2016 elections in the United States.
Sports brands increased audience data expenditure around key sporting events such as the Australian Football League (AFL) in Q3
leading to a relating peak in Betting providers. Advertising was focused on targeting broader reach demographics and users
interested in AFL/football.
