Changing media use
An interconnected world changes the media use. The different profiles diverge strongly: While elderly target groups rather can be reached via printed media an TV, the younger target groups are more likely to use the internet, mobile media or to visit events.
Accordingly, since 2001 the proportion of internet users older than 14 years has increased from about 35% to over 60%. Meanwhile the circulation and reader figures of print media have further decreased. A research study in the USA** shows that 43% of the TV audience is talking on the phone or reading the paper while watching TV. Because of these facts, the wastage of classic campaigns reaches a new level.
