OLD MEDIA APPROACH – PLAN BY DEVICE IN SILOS
 Separate budgets for PC, Mobile, Tablet
 Different marketing metrics, goals and measures by channel
 Marketing delivery measured by device – no holistic user-centered planning
 Poor visibility if a user starts the buying process on one device and finishes on another

CROSS-DEVICE: USER-CENTRIC MEDIA PLANNING
 Holistic planning across devices based upon user behavior
 One set of common metrics
 Interplay of channels in user behavior extensively measured
 Visibility to track a sale if a user starts the buying process on one device and finishes on another
