IP Device Adoption and Narrowing Adoption Curves<br />

At the nodes of these networks are a rapidly innovating group of devices, all potential<br />

outlets for marketing. In terms of primary devices, the evolution of IP advertising began on<br />

the PC, evolved into its first on-the-go device, the laptop, and then moved onto mobile<br />

phones, and in the past few years, tablets. At the same time, secondary IP devices like connected<br />

televisions and digital-out-of-home billboards have brought significant change to traditionally<br />

analog marketing experiences. Innovation around form factor, processing speeds,<br />

screen quality and user interfaces, among other things, have all driven new product evolution.<br />

The pace at which consumer media technologies are adopted -- and oftentimes cast aside<br />

–continues to accelerate as well. New device adoption is happening more quickly in the digital<br />

era for a number of reasons, including increased velocity of marketing, particularly word-ofmouth,<br />

and Moore’s Law-like innovation that drives prices lower more quickly. For brands this<br />

means events like the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas each January has become a<br />

magnet for the marketing industry. And just as new devices rise, others fall, creating a need for<br />

regular turnover in marketing strategy focus. Finally, on top of all of these devices are constantly<br />

shifting range of media and communication properties – portals, social networks, messaging<br />

services, etc. – that also drive growth of the advertising and marketing services industry.<br />

More devices also create the need for more customized creative and campaign design.<br />

These devices are embedded with different operating systems and different screen sizes<br />

(among other things), which also supports industry growth. For example in the smartphone<br />

business, marketers are developing branded apps for the Apple iOS platform that runs on all<br />

iPhones, but also apps for Google’s open-source Android platform, where the many different<br />

screen size and form factors exist.<br />
