The Digital Pulse is a program of research that is a collaborative effort between Ipsos the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) and Marketing magazine (now Strategy) that involves surveying Marketers, Advertising agency executives and the Canadian public on opinions towards Digital Marketing. The final results:

The study explored 14 components. Steve’s presentation highlights a few expected and unexpected insights from six components, specifically: Social Networking Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Online Video Marketing, Blogging/Vlogging, Website, and Digital Signage. Watch this video to learn about:
