American Media Consumption


Americans are spending more time consuming media content, not less. What’s changing is how they use it and the growing consumption taking place on digital platforms. Those are among the topline findings of Nielsen’s third-quarter Total Audience Report, formerly called the Cross-Platform Report. Smartphone penetration has reached 75%, a 15% jump over the same period last year. Nearly half of Americans own a tablet, up 59% from one year earlier. “Content is still king, but consumers are shaping their own content-discovery experience, and the evolving media landscape has not lessened consumer demand for quality, professionally-produced content,” says Nielsen SVP of insights Dounia Turrill. “What has changed is the number and reliability of new media available to viewers.” The study’s most profound findings have to do with how Americans are using TV. According to an analysis by Brian Wieser, total year-over-year TV viewing, including live TV plus time-shifting, fell 4% in the third quarter, twice as fast as the secondquarter’s 2% decline. The fall-offs were much more severe among younger audiences. The study also shines a light on a multicultural America with differing media habits. Blacks, for instance, spend 61 hours a month with AM/FM radio compared to 58 hours for Hispanics and 59 hours for the total population.

Where agencies see long-term growth: study

The American Association of Advertising Agencies has r ecently released its 2014   (attached) effectiveness study, looking at the transformation of agencies from the eyes of both the clients and agency partners. The study pulls out data for media versus creative agencies as well as over-performing agencies, that is those that self-reported a greater than 10% year-over-year growth over the past three years (the report refers to non over-performing agencies as “the rest”). New agency revenue streams were seen as a top trend for agencies overall (at 28%) but came in dead last for brands, with only 3% of respondents saying it was something that would influence an agency’s future. However, the secret to long-term growth may be in that new revenue stream, the study found: over-performing agencies were more likely to focus on these new revenue streams, with 35% naming it a top trend that will impact the agency’s future, compared to 24% of “the rest.” Media agencies place...

Auto Sales are booming - More advertising coming.

Posted: Tuesday, August 4, 2015 1:15 am Those two sounds—the “ka-ching!” of cash registers and the “vroom!” of new autos being sold—are favorites for radio, and with auto sales hitting record levels, it’s vital for radio to keep a close eye on its No. 1 advertiser, and find the best ways to keep the dealership ad money flowing. Automotive sales will account for $1.75 billion in radio ad spending this year, according to BIA/Kelsey. Estimates from Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds call for monthly new vehicle sales for July to reach 1.47 million units, and an annual adjusted rate of 17.1 million. For July, the eight major manufacturers are expected to show year-to-year gains. Analysts credit a healthier economy and demand for trucks, SUVs and luxury vehicles with fueling the positive gains . Indeed, as the overall economy has improved and unemployment drops, observers say consumers have started to make big-ticket purchases again, including new vehicles. Particularly in an off-election...
