Digital marketing has become a totally mainstream tool and few companies and advertising agencies are ignorant of its possibilities. In fact, according to remarketer estimates , spending on  digital advertising will exceed spending on television next year.

The greater interest in digital advertising is palpable in the environment, but in addition, agencies confirm it in a new Strata survey : three-quarters say that their customers are more interested in digital channels this year compared to what happened in the past, and 19% say their customers are still just as interested. Only in 5% of cases has there been a loss of interest in this booming channel.
