Our Market-The ability to market to and acquire customers is a critical driver of success for businesses, often representing a very significant portion of their cost base. Business to consumer e-commerce was approximately a $1.0 trillion industry globally in 2012, growing at 16.7% per year from 2012 to 2017, according to International Data Corporation, or IDC. Penetration of smartphones and tablets has also driven rapid growth of mobile commerce, which represented $64.5 billion globally in 2012, and is expected to grow at 35.5% CAGR between 2012 and 2017 according to IDC. The internet and mobile devices are becoming increasingly important mediums for businesses to generate customer engagement and leads that ultimately result in sales, both online and offline. However, these mediums are also complex and fragmented, making it difficult and costly to engage and convert customers. Illustrating the difficulty of converting customers, 88% of online shoppers surveyed in February 2013 by comScore indicated they had from time to time placed items in a shopping cart and left a site without making a purchase. It is therefore important for businesses to develop and execute online and mobile marketing campaigns efficiently and effectively harnessing consumer intent, big data, technology, measurability, and the ability to target, at scale. According to ZenithOptimedia, marketers spent $88.6 billion on internet advertising in 2012, with this spend expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 14.3% through 2015.
