chance at unlocking growth.
- 1. Stop chasing intent and start predicting what people want at any moment

predict and deliver on customers’ needs more efficiently across all touchpoints
- 2. Drive growth by leveraging insights to reach the right audiences
• To build an effective data strategy, connect insights across the journey to better
understand and respond to people’s needs in a more personalised way.

• Almost half (46%) of consumers prefer to use their smartphone to complete the entire
process from researching to buying
• 61% of people expect brands to tailor experiences based on their
preferences.5 Furthermore, 90% of leading marketers say personalisation significantly
contributes to business profitability.
- 4. Drive purchase decisions by helping customers turn intent into action in an
omnichannel world

Sundar & Limperos - Uses and
Grate 2.0: New Gratifications
for New Media
- Internet has created ‘active audiences’ rather than passive
- ‘Audiences’ became ‘users’
- Increasingly, these affordances are allowing Internet users to not only experience
media in newer ways, but also actively contribute their own content, given the
rise in interfaces and applications that are premised on user-generated content
- New media forms afford users the ability to not only interact with these ‘‘media’’ (human-
computer interac- tion) but also interact through them to communicate with other users
(computer- mediated communication).
- Possibility that the technology itself could be responsible for creating new gratifications,
so that we can increase the scope, relevance, and robustness of U&G research for
explaining new media use in initial stages and beyond
- U&G Research in Mass Communication
- (1) the social and psychological origins of (2) needs, which generate (3) ex- pectations
from (4) the mass media or other sources, which lead to (5) differential patterns of
media exposure (or engagement in other activities), resulting in (6) need gratifications
and (7) other consequences, perhaps mostly unintended ones’
- Gratifications are conceptualised as “need satisfactions”
- In essence, the dominant belief appears to be that motives or needs drive the actual use
or gratification obtained from different types of media
- Media gratification typologies
- Papacharissi and Rubin (2000) combined pre-existing measures of interpersonal,
traditional media, and new media motives/gratifications measures in order to shed
light on why people use the Internet
- Results: People use the Internet for interpersonal reasons, to pass time, information-
seeking, convenience, and entertainment pur- poses
- Many studies have shown that arousal, escape, learning, habit, social interaction,
companion- ship, information-seeking, passing time, relaxation, and entertainment to
be the salient gratifications derived from watching television
- When comparing the gratifications from early television studies to the Internet and
new communication technologies, one is left with the impression that newer media do
not really afford any new gratifications that cannot be found in traditional media.
