The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered consumer purchasing habits, largely out of necessity but also thanks to our evolving digital media consumption. There was a 15% jump in time spent engaging with digital media between 2019 to 2020, up to a total of nearly eight hours a day.
Projected to increase every year, it’s clear that digital media (and the technology that we use to consume it), will continue to play a significant role in our lives, and that consumer buying behavior will continue to transform.
