M MARKETING PRIORITIES 2016
BACKGROUND In July 2016 Publicitas released Publicitas Marketing Priorities. Marketing Priorities is a global survey among agencies, publishers and brand advertisers looking at the key technologies impacting their business, their main marketing priorities, and what the future might look like. So why did we do this? Firstly, to help us understand the main business priorities and challenges facing the global media industry (our customers). Secondly, to keep abreast of industry change. And finally, to make sure that what we do as a business, aligns with our customer needs.
