IDC Vendor Spotlight on Accenture Intelligent Advertising

Time to reinvent advertising products

Traditional media companies face a very challenging time in their advertising sales businesses. Audiences are migrating to digital properties. Much of their investment is sunk into a declining core business, and investment priorities are split between core businesses and new and unproven digital business models. Against this backdrop, IDC examines the advertising sales market. 

Digital disruptors have brought innovation in advanced audience targeting, enhanced market reach, process automation and transparency of results. In the IDC Vendor Spotlight, sponsored by Accenture, "Reinventing Advertising Products and Services for Growth," analyst firm IDC explores what traditional media companies must do to respond, and examines the market-fit of Accenture’s Intelligent Advertising offering.

Returning to growth

There is considerable scope for traditional ad businesses to be more value driven. But they need to transform, remove silos, and generate a better understanding of audiences across all channels and digital touch points. These capabilities are essential to growing core revenues and incubating new digital businesses with the potential to become growth engines.
