Executive Summary
The Digital Economy affects everybody. Existing players such as telcos, banks, media, and retail will need to adapt to the new environment, while new players will enter these markets from different angles. British research indicates that online users can save £70 per month. The report surveys the first areas that customers are interested in and which are therefore interesting commercial starting points. It looks at topics such as e-money, mobile email, and buying and selling over the Internet.
New business models are now emerging, giving the industry the confidence to begin changing their more traditional models. An equally important factor is that this is backed up by a phenomenal growth in online advertising revenues. Video-based service on broadband and interactive digital TV networks is becoming a whole new area of advertising opportunities.
Personalised media and one-to-one communication will be the predominant mode on the Digital Media. New models will need to be developed to succeed in this highly competitive and highly consumer service sensitive market. Video ads in
As the Australian Internet audience grows many advertising companies have jumped on the digital media bandwagon. Their cautious approach to competing in the digital marketing segment has enabled new entrants, focussed purely on digital media, to establish themselves.
Key Australian companies in this market are The Belong Group, BlueFreeway and Hyro. Advertisers are migrating from traditional media to new media as the web audience grows, potentially at the expense of the traditional media audience. Digital platforms will in future enable digital advertisers to employ targeted advertising-based on a user’s specific profile. This promises to increase the effectiveness of advertising and as such should enable digital marketers to charge a significant premium relative to traditional advertising forms.
The key reason why the market is suddenly turning towards the new digital media is the success they have in attracting new revenues, by 2008 worth well over $1 billion. They are very much concentrated around advertising, but often in new formats such as searching, online directory listings and other permission-based models.
This report provides revenues shares by product and company, overall statistics and tables on sub market segments. Forecasts towards 2010 are also provided.
