MEDIA MYTHS AND REALITIES: A PUBLIC OF ONE

2007 MEDIA USAGE SURVEY

Views on the Key Findings

  • Use of media channels is more fragmented than ever
  • Media preferences are more personalized than ever
  • Consumers in emerging markets may be setting the pace for media use
  • People rely most on personal experiences when making decisions
  • The way professionals communicate is out of sync with the way consumers use media
