2015 Digital Marketing Landscape

Do you sit up at night wondering if your internet marketing dollars are being spent wisely? Do you wonder if the online tools you use continue to increase in their consumer base?  Check out this infographic depicting some of the largest social media and online tools available and how many consumers actively use them.

Two years ago we produced an infographic representing the 2013 digital marketing landscape.  We wanted to help individuals navigate changes in the digital world and thought it would help organizations understand where they should spend time and where they shouldn’t.  We decided to recreate this infographic for 2015 and hope you enjoy.

Some interesting differences to note from 2013 – 2015 include:

  1. An increase in almost 1 billion worldwide internet users
  2. Youtube & Facebook stayed the same
  3. LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter continue to grow
  4. Instagram doubled their active user amount

Why is this important?

Digital marketing continues to grow.  Many businesses seem to dip their toes into the internet marketing world not really knowing if there is a market there for them.  With digital marketing continuing to expand, it just makes sense for businesses to further spend dollars online.  However, we are a little biased.
