The headline statistic is that 49 percent of the respondents indicate that content — creating rich media experiences — is the most critical factor in getting consumer attention. Content was considered more important than all other key factors including:
Context – delivering the right message at the right time, 20 percent Omni-channel – delivering content across multiple channels and devices, 17 percent Ease of purchase – making it easy for consumers to buy, 9 percent Speed – getting experiences to market fast, 5 percent
While the need for rich, engaging content is clearly a priority, 40 percent of respondents feel challenged by a lack of time in creating those experiences.
