How Consumers Interact with Brands on Social Networks - eMarketer

“More than half of all Internet users now use social networks, and the percentage of social network users who talk about companies, either in organic conversations or on branded company pages, is growing,” said Ms. Williamson. “Consumers do pay attention and they do value positive interactions with companies.

“But while people trust their friends for advice and use social networks as part of their research process, social networks are long way from replacing search, if they ever will, as a source of information leading to a purchase.”

Addressing Obstacles to Increased Online Ad Spend - eMarketer

“To advertisers, TV still matters,” said John Shelton, president and CEO of STRATA, in a statement. “But just as radio gave way to television, we can see that TV is slowly giving way to digital.”

Mr. Shelton said that there is still a perception that digital has its limitations in reach and effectiveness and must still be used with traditional media like TV. But he added that “the trend is clear” and digital will continue its rise.

For now, the biggest obstacle to growth is lack of advertiser demand, cited by 36% of ad agencies. More than one-quarter complained about the channel’s effectiveness—typically considered one of its positive qualities.

Despite these perceptions, 69% of agencies said their clients were more focused on digital than last year, compared with just 9% that said attention was decreasing.
