Kantar has identified 10 trends that will impact media and communications in 2021.
"Our Media Trends and Predictions 2021 aim to support you in what is a relative uncertain future. It explores findings that can help you build richer connections with your audience, your consumers and your clients, to drive business growth through 2021 and beyond."
Navigating the "new normal"
Kantar’s COVID-19 Barometer shows that claimed media consumption grew across all in-home channels. In April alone internet browsing increasing by 64%, online video by 54% and higher social media engagement up by 56%.
"...while it’s unlikely the pandemic situation will change quickly, consumer behaviours are starting to return to the ‘old normal’ as we emerge from ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions."
"The industry needs to be nimble, agile and real-time – ready to ‘twist’ when the market demands it. Research and data from Kantar is readily available to answer this."
Agile omnichannel
As you read through Kantar's analysis in Media Trends and Predictions 2021 you get an understanding of just how important agile responses to market/consumer trends are. Fall behind in expected actions, and consider yourself too slow for any brand recognition to be had.
"Brands need to achieve an efficient omnichannel media presence to influence consumers across the funnel."
