July to September 2013
The Rise of the Cross-Channel Brand
Global marketers now have an unprecedented opportunity to reach across channels
to engage in meaningful conversations with consumers moving from device to device,
shifting formats and media. A recent Forrester study reveals that 90% of adults use three
different device combinations to complete one simple task, such as booking a restaurant
table or buying a pair of pants. And the increased time consumers spend watching videos
and spending time on social networks is being noticed by marketers and matched with
ad spending from New York to London, from Sao Paulo to Tokyo. In 2013, we see brands
ramping up quickly to keep pace with ever-moving consumers, following them across
mobile, video, display, and social media. That’s why the “rise of the cross-channel brand”
is the perfect theme for our latest report.*
Earlier this year, we introduced the Digital Elite, a high-income group of consumers that
represent the top 2% of the online audience and attract more advertising spending than
any other group. That audience exhibits the most cross-channel behavior of any segment
worldwide. Now we’re flipping the script and taking the marketer’s perspective to look into
how quickly brands are launching cross-channel strategies, what types of advertisers are
seeing the greatest ROI from going cross-channel, and the real impact these campaigns
have on consumer engagement.
Key insights for the quarter include:
• There’s been a 137% increase in brands going multichannel in 2013.
•
Advertisers who move from a single channel to two or more channels see an average
3x improvement in ROI.
•
Display ad eCPM grew 5% during the quarter, while mobile and online video eCPM
were essentially unchanged.
What these best-in-breed global advertisers all have in common
is an “audience first” marketing strategy. They use data and
analytics from a technology platform such as Turn’s to find their
most valuable audience and target them on the right device and
the right channel, at the right time, with the right message.
What these best-in-breed global advertisers all have in common is an “audience first”
marketing strategy. They use data and analytics from a technology platform such as
Turn’s to find their most valuable audience and target them on the right device and the
right channel, at the right time, with the right message. The key questions for marketers:
What combination of insights and technology can you use to get the right message to a
media-agnostic consumer? What can you learn from best practices gleaned by analyzing
the rise of cross-channel brands?
This report showcases insights we’ve gained from the most recent quarter, July to
September 2013. We dive deep into the data pertaining to the rise of the cross-channel
brands to provide actionable data. Our goal is to help advertisers follow their example and
lead data-driven, audience-first strategies across every media channel, format, and device.
We also include core global trends in eCPM pricing and formats to provide a snapshot of
market forces and the media spending landscape.

Display ad eCPM continued to climb,
moving from $1.22 in Q2 to $1.28
in Q3. Global impression volume is
stable, but the summer lull has given
way to amped-up back-to-school/
holiday media buys starting at the
end of September.
Mobile eCPM increased marginally
from $1.01 in Q2 to $1.02 in Q3. An
increase in impressions available
is keeping pace with revved-up
demand, with more dollars moving
to digital and mobile.
While pricing increased July through
September, online video eCPM
remained essentially unchanged
this quarter dropping marginally
from $11.03 in Q2 to $10.97 in Q3,
with volume staying consistent.
