5G Reality Begins Cookie Crumbles Artificial Intelligence
Consolidation Nation Social Stronghold Gamer Culture
5G’s been talked about for a
couple years now--we’ll
finally start to see some level
of 5G reality in 2020. The
implications are far-reaching
and are more than just about
phones. This will change
everything.
Privacy concerns, regulation
and new ways to avoid

crumble . Where is this
headed and what implications
are there for advertising and

From voice to facial

by AI raises both optimistic
excitement and profound
ethical questions. Where will
it take us in the future?
Tech mergers, media mergers
and acquisitions have
dominated headlines recently.
Ad dollars continue to
consolidate with just a handful
of tech giants. Media
companies are scrambling to
position themselves to compete
with new rivals. Where will this
lead?
Social media’s meteoric rise in
usage and influence faces
increased scrutiny in the years
ahead. Will Instagram’s
massive growth show cracks?
Will Facebook be broken up?
What’s next?
Gaming culture permeates pop
culture with a wide swath of
influence beyond gaming.
Gaming is becoming a
mainstream sport with big
dollars on the line and
influential mega stars. Brands
are jumping in.
Political Tsunami
A major storm is coming. The
fiasco of the last election will
have implications for
advertising and media in
2020. Get ready for another
major election cycle and a
volatile, messy media market.

subscribed to a streaming audio service (Statista Survey, 2019)
The average adult now spends 11 days streaming content each month
Streaming accounts for 29% of viewing, but only 3% of ad budgets (Magna
Global)
Cord cutting in favor of streaming video content continues
to rise
Last year, Americans subscribed to three paid streaming services and more U.S.
HH subscribed to a video streaming service than traditional pay TV for the first
time ever. Cord-cutting appeal was cutting dollars but streaming is getting close
to cable in monthly bills. More streaming services are set to launch in 2020
testing just how many more services consumers are willing to add.
Streaming subscriptions have now surpassed traditional pay TV
Pandora is the clear leader with iHeartRadio a distant second. Online radio
providers compete against each other as well as alternatives like Spotify and
Apple Music.
Radio’s decline has been offset by the growth of online
radio
Over half (51%) of consumers have listened to a podcast in the last year. Around
6% do so on a regular basis.

16. The future demands more connectivity and more devices. To power all these
devices and bring new experiences like VR/AR, self-driving cars, and
telemedicine into reality, we need speed and an always-on connection.
The future depends on connectivity--5G will bring it
5G is the fifth generation of wireless communication standards. The full 5G
rollout will take some time. We’ll start with new faster smartphones and evolve
to a shift beyond the post-smartphone era and into homes and beyond. 5G will
require new handsets which are just being introduced. Apple is expected to
launch a 5G capable phone in late 2020.
Real 5G will start in 2020...but there are some caveats
Carriers have been touting 5G for some time, but it’s a confusing mashup of various
technologies and versions of 5G. Millimeter Wave 5G is the fastest but has
limitations that will prevent wide-spread rollout quickly.
It will be a bit of a rocky road until it’s fully realized
5G will bring more than just lightening speeds and higher-quality streaming.
Lower latency will make things like VR and AR more useful and go beyond
novelty into real-world use.
5G will change the consumer experience and bring immense
opportunity for brands

The promise is that 5G will deliver
around 10 gigabits per second to your
phone. That’s around 600 times faster
than 4G speed.
National 5G
Coverage Won’t be
Immediate
Most carriers will be launching versions of
5G which are not “true” 5G. Due to the
massive infrastructure and hardware
needed, true 5G reality is still a few years
away
Page 36
It’s a Gradual
Rollout
5G isn’t a single technology, but
various technologies. Deploying them
requires new infrastructure and to
receive them, requires new phones
and systems. Each carrier is using
their own versions of 5G.
It’s Bigger than
Phones
It will serve to drive development of an
ecosystem of things like smart cities,
connected-cars-smart grids, medical
tech, telemedicine, environmental
sensors, thermostats and other
gadgets

issues, the standard method of tracking using 3rd party cookies will soon cease to

Walled gardens like Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google already have direct

may find opportunities to create their own walled gardens as a result. .

23. An organization called OpenAI made headlines last year when they announced
their latest news-copy generating machine GPT-2 was too dangerous to publicly
release in full, fearing it would lead to mass-generation of fake news. They have
since released it. GPT-2 can write fake news, articles, stories, poems and code.
Machines are getting much better at comprehension and
generation
AI has been used in the creative process and has found its way into advertising
campaigns. Leo Burnett created a PSA for world hunger using AI to generate a
face that represented a composite of 100 photographs of actual people who
can’t afford food. AI also finds its way into more contextual based programmatic.

Consumers care about privacy more in theory than
practice
Abuse of personal data, data breaches, fraudulent traffic and annoying
advertising are to blame for the current movement away from thinking we can
hit the “easy button” with automated digital advertising.
“Personalization” and hyper-targeted ads, once defined
the era but are now facing significant pushback
Despite the availability of almost limitless data, most marketing organizations
fail to capitalize. According to Forrester Research, only 48% of decisions are
made based on quantitative information and analysis, a stat that has changed
little in the past few years.
So much data, so little interest in actually using it...still
All these tech stacks seem to be overwhelming us. Over half surveyed indicated

dollars in 2020 (eMarketer). Amazon recently acquired Sizmek ad server
potentially challenging google’s dominance. As media companies face their own
increased pressure from the likes of Netflix, more and more mergers may be on

More ad dollars are going to fewer and fewer players
Netflix was once a DVD mail service but is now a $135 billion dollar
entertainment company dwarfing its rivals like CBS who’s valued at a paltry $19

Kantar Media expects digital ad spend alone to reach over $1.2 billion dollars in
