On average, consumers are watching three hours less television per week (a 17.6% decline). Plus, the average time a consumer spends listening to radio has declined 2.7%. With both of these industries forecasting further erosion of market share, a sea-change in marketing is well under way. These mediums are still valuable for you to reach your targeted audiences. Even so, the writing is on the wall: new avenues are emerging.

Half of the world’s population is now online and 30% of those users are active on social media. Over one-billion people search YouTube to watch videos. Nearly 1.8-billion people use Facebook and Twitter to share videos, pictures and articles via status updates. Every single minute, 323 days worth of YouTube videos are viewed on Facebook’s newsfeed.
