IDC’s survey of senior advertising decision makers in large companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany found that digital measurement has become table stakes for anyone who wants to run mobile marketing campaigns. There is little wonder why: measurement has proven to significantly increase return on advertising spend (ROAS) and the ability to retain advertisers’ competitiveness.

The advertising landscape has always been fast-moving and responsive to changing trends but never has it been more competitive. Despite more channels to advertise on than ever before, consumers’ tolerance for advertising is at an all-time low. In fact, 89% said they either disliked ads or did not engage with them. This decline in ads tolerance has been driven by a combination of factors. From sheer saturation of adverts – it’s estimated that we are exposed to 6,000 to 10,000 ads a day – to platforms that give us a choice to pay for a subscription in return for no ads.

Ads are a powerful and growing profit tool for marketplace operators. A Goldman Sachs Equity Research report noted in February 2021 that “in the US alone we believe retailers are positioned to generate $15-$20 billion of e-com oriented retail media revenue from CPG manufacturers by 2025; the figure should be substantially larger when we contemplate the potential to tap into media streams from electronic, apparel, sporting goods and other manufacturers for some retailers.” The scale here is massive, and marketplace operators are taking note.

Like gas and groceries, marketing is getting more expensive – and B2B SaaS marketers who rely on paid advertising feel the pain the most. Macroeconomic conditions and changes in B2B buying behavior have made traditional ad playbooks pricier, less effective, and less scalable: Ads are more expensive due to crowding and competition on paid platforms. People have changed the way they research products online, and they are leaving trackable platforms for dark social. If it feels like “people aren’t clicking on ads anymore,” you’re not alone. New privacy regulations make it difficult to target the right customers - and easy to waste ad budgets.
