In a world of banner blindness, you are sure to be concerned about the future of advertising. If you’re in marketing, this is definitely one of your bigger problems.
But it’s a new dawn and it’s a new day And as technology and advertising evolve, so will your strategies.
Let’s dive into the future of digital, mobile, video, and television advertising below.
Future of digital advertising
Let’s start with some statistics:
- 91% of respondents agree that ads are more intrusive today compared to two to three years ago, and 87% agree that there are more ads in general (HubSpot).
- 42% of consumers think digital media ads are irrelevant to their needs, up 10% from last quarter (RevJet).
- 73% of consumers don’t like companies with repetitive news, up 15% quarter over quarter in negative sentiment (RevJet).
- 62% of companies have or are planning an omni-channel marketing strategy (AdWeek)
- The conversion rates actually increase the more users see an ad in remarketing campaigns (WordStream).
- Almost all ad buyers expect digital advertising to account for more than 50 percent of their total marketing budget in two years (Accenture)
- Today, buyers and sellers, on average, programmatically use only 17 percent of their inventory. That will more than double within two years (Accenture)
- Digital advertisers believe automation would have an impact on achieving their goals (Forrester)
- Consumers are more willing to deal with brands that advertise alongside legitimate content, less so with brands that advertise alongside false, offensive, or inflammatory content, and would stop using a brand or product if they advertise the brand alongside false consider. offensive or inflammatory content and believe advertisers are responsible for ensuring that their digital ads run alongside trusted content (The Harris Poll)
What does this mean for the future of digital advertising? In essence, this means that ads still need to be personalized. Once you have your consumers’ consent to use their data, you need to use that data effectively so that you can create the right ads.
In addition, you shouldn’t just focus on one advertising area. You should take an omni-channel, multi-device approach.
When you return to the drawing board for your digital advertising strategies, keep in mind that remarketing is still a great strategy for reaching users and that programmatic advertising is on the rise.
Now that we’ve looked at digital advertising as a whole, let’s dig deeper into the details. What will mobile advertising look like in the future?
Future of mobile advertising
Here are the stats:
- 85% of advertisers and 72% of publishers currently use programmatic advertising (IAB).
- Almost 80% of programmatic ad spend goes to mobile, not desktop (eMarketer) ads.

Now let’s take a closer look at video ads.
