I say this in my introduction to our Global Digital Reports every year, but the past twelve months really have seen impressive growth across all things digital. This year’s collection of 230+ reports reveals some striking new numbers in countries all across the globe, with developing economies showing some particularly strong growth. Social media continues to account for the greatest share of that time, and the average user spends more time on social today than they did this time last year. The number of social media users around the world has increased by more than 280 million since January 2018, but there have also been some user declines across some of the world’s top social platforms.

This year’s reports also take a closer look at some of the more recent additions to the digital landscape, including the growing use of voice control, and public adoption of cryptocurrencies. SIMON KEMP REPORT AUTHOR The big story in this year’s data is the accelerating growth in internet users. More than 360 million people came online for the first time during 2018, at an average rate of more than 1 million new users each day. 57 percent of the world’s population is now connected to the internet, with trends indicating that all of the original ‘Next Billion Users’ are now online.

Mobile users grew by a more modest 100 million over the past year, but that slower growth is perhaps to be expected, given that two-thirds of the world’s population already uses a mobile. However, mobile has helped fuel strong growth But with that, let’s get stuck into the numbers. Here’s to another year of impressive digital growth in 2019! We’re spending significant amounts of time online, too. The average internet user now spends more than 6½ hours online each day, meaning that the world’s digital 3

HOOTSUITE’S PERSPECTIVE: DIGITAL IN 2019 From using Instagram to research products to chatting with customer support on messaging apps, social media has become the heart of all digital customer touchpoints. We recommend that brands take action in three critical areas: REBUILD TRUST WITH CONSUMERS BREAK DOWN MARKETING SILOS MAKE A UNIFIED VIEW YOUR IMPERATIVE Cambridge Analytica and fake news damaged consumer confidence in search engines, businesses, and social channels in 2018. To rebuild trust, brands must be clear why they are collecting data and use the data they do collect to create personalized, one-to-one experiences that offer new value to customers. 54% of organizations report that departments beyond marketing are now using social media. Marketing teams can increase their influence by guiding this expansion and advancing their organization’s digital transformation. Begin by establishing common KPIs with other departments, using social to achieve broad business objectives like brand health, revenue, and customer retention. Today, the average internet user has accounts on 8 different social and messaging services. To meet the demands of these consumers, organizations need to build a unified view of their customers across every touchpoint. Tying together data and working fluidly with other departments is a tough task. But cracking this code offers a giant leap ahead of your competitors in 2019.

WE ARE SOCIAL’S PERSPECTIVE: DIGITAL IN 2019 The constant evolution of digital continues, with new formats and platforms, enhanced by voice, AI and AR. EVOLUTION OF VOICE IMMERSIVE SOCIAL DEMOCRATISING DATA COLLECTIVE AI Voice based search has increased, though interestingly more so in developing economies than developed. Platforms responding by developing features such as Snapchat voice recognition lenses and testing of voice commands for Facebook Messenger and Facebook Portal. Consumer-level AR creation tools are gradually normalising this technology. AR advertising in the newsfeed points to a more immersive experience on social platforms, but until there are truly social features (allowing humans to interact) it won’t be core to the experience. We’re in the midst of a revolution. As individuals become the gatekeepers to their own data, it’s essential that brands find access on the right terms. As we converge and combine our behaviours and intelligence online, the ability for machine learning to find solutions to brand needs is becoming an essential advantage. Download our Think Forward report to dive into these trends and more. 10
