Global Digital Audience ReportJanuary to March 2013
Global Digital Audience Report 2
Today’s savvy marketers are looking to advertising technology to meet the challenges of a fragmented media landscape. How can they reach consumers across channels and devices? Enterprise so!ware companies such as Turn are helping to simplify the marketer’s workflow, making it easier to engage people as they interact with brands—through online display, mobile, social, and video advertising.
As brands and agencies work with technology providers to drive cross-channel marketing initiatives, global digital advertising spend continues to grow, and is projected to reach $113 billion this year. And much of that spend will go to automated and data-driven advertising, delivering maximum scale and ROI to marketers. A recent IDC report estimates that by 2016, worldwide real-time-bidding (RTB) spend will increase to $13.9 billion and the “big data” market will grow to $23.8 billion.
The Turn cloud marketing platform has the scale and deep data insights to fulfill the demands of this skyrocketing market. Every day, the Turn platform makes 50+ billion advertising decisions, analyzes over 1.5 trillion anonymous customer attributes, and provides instant access to billions of digital ad impressions—resulting in an unprecedented ability to provide game-changing insights.
This report highlights some insights we’ve gained from the most recent quarter, January to March 2013—insights that we believe are driving smarter marketing decisions for brands around the world. Our biggest discovery? We’re calling it the Digital Elite—the world’s most valuable audience—a population segment that today’s marketers seek for their online habits and spending power.
Key insights covered in this report include:
• The Digital Elite see 24 times more ads than the average consumer, putting them in such demand that marketers are willing to pay an eCPM* that’s 85 percent higher than average in order to reach them.
• Mobile ad impressions remain inexpensive due to concerns about a reliable ecosystem and standards for anonymous data tracking.
• Social advertising is cost-e"ective and immensely popular, with Turn delivering billions of impressions per month.
• Display advertising and online video advertising continue to dominate, with advertisers paying a premium to reach consumers through familiar, big-canvas formats.
“ We’ve analyzed deep insights to identify the global elite of the digital population—those most desired by marketers for their spending power and habits and the fact that they interact with digital advertising more than any other group.”

Global Digital Audience Report 3
An audience powerhouse, the U.S. is home to 85 percent of the Digital Elite. Another 10 percent live in the EU, a region that’s growing rapidly. We also expect to see Asia-Pacific and South American markets gain, as global brands look to RTB- and data-driven marketing in new regions.
The Digital Elite are typically aged 21–34, live in cities, and love foreign travel. Earning more than $76,000 a year, they’re fond of gadgets and upscale brands such as Banana Republic and Sephora. They have diverse media tastes, enjoying public radio, Family Guy, Elle, and GQ. You’ll find them at concerts and bars.
The Digital Elite command an average eCPM* of $1.15, reflecting an 85 percent premium over the $0.62 paid for other audiences.

Global Digital Audience Report 5
What Ads Do They See?Reaching Relevant Audiences Across Online Channels
Ad Format Trends
• Facebook and Facebook Exchange represent the vast majority of social advertising.
• Display trends and mobile banner size reflect the growing popularity of the standard unit sizes.
• In-stream 15- and 30-second formats are overwhelmingly popular for marketers looking to reach digital audiences.
• 15-second pre-roll has long dominated the video category due to its ease of implementation.
Insights into Reach by Channel
The Turn platform provides a wealth of data that can inform smarter marketing strategies. A few examples:
• People who interact with display ads for a tax preparation service are more likely to have a PhD or a master’s degree, while those who interact with that service’s ads on Facebook are less likely to have an advanced degree.
• Consumers who make less than $40,000 are more likely to interact with a consumer electronics brand’s display ads, while those who make more than $100,000 are more likely to interact with the brand’s ads on Facebook.
• Consumers who interact with display ads for a mobile phone brand are more likely to work in education or training, the military, or government. Consumers who interact with the same brand’s Facebook campaign are more likely to be employed in research, science, biotech, legal services, or arts and entertainment.

Display Mobile VideoSocialInsightsAdvertisers are paying a premium for video and other rich media formats because they are more engaging. Global average video eCPM grew from $9.41 in January to $9.99 in March—an increase of 6.16 percent.
Display advertising is the work-horse of online advertising. Display eCPM rose from $0.92 to $1.06 in Q1 2013—an increase of 15.2 percent.
Mobile ads are still inexpensive because an ecosystem for anony-mous tracking isn’t in place. More inventory has moved into mobile, keeping prices down. Mobile eCPM dropped from $1.31 in January to $0.72 in March—a decrease of 45 percent.
There is a wealth of new social inventory, and social advertising remains low-cost and e#cient for brands. Social (Facebook/FBX) eCPM dropped 20 percent, from a global average of $0.30 in January to $0.24 in March.
