Marketers think they know what the most effective channels are
Companies seem to have
given up on vintage
Offline channels like
Radio & POS
Offline channels still
trump online channels in
terms of a balanced
media mix
Everyone has a strategy
for Email, TV, App &
Website - almost a must-
have

6. 6
Plus there seems to be a clear separation of channel purpose
Interestingly, offline channels + Email are predominantly used for direct marketing and Digital channels are only used for Brand
Awareness as an extra add-on

7. 7
Almost half the clients admit they do not know if their budget is balanced
Almost half the clients have no idea
about whether their media budget is
balanced
18% more marketers in Asia feel their
budget is balanced compared to AU

Investment to time spent ratio is completely skewed for online channels
Compared to more
advanced markets like
AU and NZ, Asian markets
spend much less and a
disproportionately lower
amount of media budget on
online channels (compared
to the time consumers
actually spend online).
