 “The focus is now shifting away from media metrics, which are often disparate and not comparable, to direct attribution client-based outcomes. To maximise outcomes, the importance of platform-first creative ensures the user experience is at the heart.”
Corones also cautions against thinking digital versus broadcast.
“With consumers at the heart of a media owner’s eco-system it should mean, by default, seamless delivery of great content, talent and experiences across all touch points,” he says.
“Siloed thinking, such as online versus broadcast, truly inhibits a media owner from growing and thriving. Consumers don’t see the distinction, nor should media owners.
“Media companies need to focus on compelling content delivered easily and conveniently to any device, any time, any place.”
That starts with exclusive, engaging content.
