Welcome to the start of a new decade! As we look back on the last 10 years, the years 2010-2019 were certainly a digital “decade”. In just the last 10 years marketers have watched trends accelerate. For instance:
Mobile Smart Phone Use: 20% in 2010 and 71% in 2019
Social Media: 42% of the US population in 2010, it was 73% in 2019
Digital Time: 2.5 hrs per day in 2010 and 6.5 hrs per day in 2019
YouTube® Daily Use: 15 minutes in 2010 and 40 minutes in 2019
We could continue with a long list of statistics but most marketers will easily agree their marketing budgets in the next decade will be overwhelmingly digital-focused.
Maybe it’s not a coincidence Digital Throttle started in late 2009 - we’ve built our business on these trends.
Our goal then and now is to help you navigate so many powerful (but complicated) digital marketing options.
