Almost half of TV and internet multi-taskers (48%) also admit to actively changing their mind about a brand compared to 36% of non multi-taskers

•

The above implies that ‘word of mouth’ is fast developing into ‘word of web’ and for marketers, demonstrates how consumers are becoming more empowered to formulate and communicate thoughts and opinions of brands online. It also highlights the need to effectively engage with audiences online to build and safeguard brand reputation.

E-COMMERCE •

The research shows that TV and internet multi-taskers buy almost twice as many items online than those that do not mix their media (12 items vs. 7) and spend 26% more money on these items (€798 vs. €632 on average).

With 88% of media multi-taskers stating they cannot live without at least one web activity (compared to 79% of non multi-taskers), it seems the empowering effect the internet is having on lifestyle options and choices is far greater overall than amongst those who do not mix their media.

The majority of European media multi-taskers are aged under 35. o

One quarter (25%) of those who mix their media regularly fall within the digital youth category (16-24 year olds)

o

29% are part of our ‘Golden Youth’ ( 24-35 year olds) – a group already identified as heavy and engaged users of the internet.

o

In comparison, only 13% of media multi-taskers are aged between 45 and 54 years old.

•

It seems that Silver Surfers (55+) are also a demographic that is increasingly meshing their media. With a 75% rise in media multi-tasking since 2006, Silver Surfers are moving towards being an effective demographic for marketers to tailor their multi-media campaigns towards in the future

MOVING INTO THE MAINSTREAM •

The rapid growth in the media multi-tasker is expected to be further propelled by the development of technology and accessibility of the internet.

•

Twice as many media multi-taskers access the internet via mobile phone or Wi-Fi compared to non multi-taskers

•

Media multi-taskers are also more likely to have access to wireless technology (57% vs. 43%) as well as own a laptop (69% vs. 54%)

•

This suggests that media multi-taskers will continue to deepen their engagement with the internet whilst watching TV and that as the numbers of multi-taskers overall rise, media-meshing will move towards the mainstream.
