Traditional Media Drives Interactive Usage

Survey Uncovers Drivers of Digital Influence and Reveals How Information is Shared Online

A new research study gleaned from a field of nearly 1,000 digital influencers demonstrates traditional and online media are both important sources when it comes to sharing news. The study by IM MS&L finds that traditional media play a vital role in igniting the process that leads influencers to share information online and via word of mouth.

Eight in ten influencers often go online to find out more after:
  • Reading something in a magazine or newspaper (84%)
  • Hearing something on TV or the Radio (84%)
"This research supports the need for influencer marketing campaigns to leverage both traditional and online tools to connect with consumers."
