Excerpt from the Book
Characteristics of the Digital Landscape
Six characteristics of this digital landscape are highlighted (Kim 2008). First, increasing hardware performance also means that all mobiles devices will become stronger medias for advertising messages to reach targeted audience. Indeed, they will support better graphics, more attractive creative executions, and more complex and engaging applications that will deliver more sophisticated message to consumers.
Second, an always more easy access to the web means that consumers will use this medium more often and more deeply in their everyday life. Therefore, advertisers will enjoy increasing penetration and so increasing opportunities to engage with the consumers.
Third, the storage of data on the Internet (through the cloud) and not anymore on individual hard drive will permit unlimited data storage. This aspect will have a huge impact on video based advertising and on rich creative advertising types. This development will change the consumers’ way of consuming information and thus, consuming advertising.
Four, the increased usability of mobile devices thanks to more natural and interactive way of interacting with these device (such as touch screen, voice control…) will create new digital opportunity thanks to the a greater usage of digital devices. This development will slowly open digital advertising to new audiences that were defiant towards digital technologies (i.e. the elderly) or unable to use them properly (i.e. children).
