13 Spooky Stats to Scare Your Boss Into Better Marketing [SlideShare]

Anyway, you may be asking yourselves "What the heck is a multi-platform digital omnivore?"

Well ... it’s you. And me. It’s the average consumer. It’s a fancy term for having no costume, but being one of many who gobbles up more media from mobile devices more and more of the time.

You and I, you see, we tend to reserve desktop usage primarily for work, use our smartphones all throughout the day, and use our tablets (if we have them) heavily in the evenings -- likely while watching TV or doing some searching before bed.

Unfortunately, though, there’s still a lot of bad marketing out there. Global ad spend is on the rise. I don’t get it. I do get that change is hard. And I get that our colleagues, bosses, and CMOs need to be convinced change is necessary.
