all things Digital
Digital Trends to track as we head into 2020 across Digital Marketing, Media and Commerce Voice technology will move beyond smart speakers and close in on visual search capabilities.
Google will remain the dominant search platform, but some consumers may shift to other platforms. Traditional TV services will lose customers to subscription video-on-demand services like Netflix and Hulu, causing advertisers to rethink their strategies. Direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands like Warby Parker and Glossier will maximize their online presence by introducing a traditional brick-and-mortar component. Privacy concerns will cause news outlets and social platforms to steer away from data targeting practices that won’t be well received by their audiences. Facebook’s user base will continue to dwindle, and advertisers may finally follow suit. Source: eMarketer Inc. 2019 Report
