POLL TIME
TREND 2
Which of the Big 5 networks was
the most improved in 2019?
Major Trends within 

The Big 5.
Scandal dominated ’18 and ‘19

The backlash from the Cambridge Analytica incident continues
today, but Facebook’s network still dominates.
“Big 5” offer the best tools for marketers

Despite promising upstarts, for marketing, advertising, and
commerce, no one can touch the Big 5.
Regulations and oversight will increase

We expect more governments to join the trend toward data
privacy, protecting against misinformation, and more.
Still: “Niche” networks may not be so niche for long

TikTok has over 1bn downloads (with some questionable growth),
and upcoming apps like Byte could be big hits in 2020.

Reality.
Technology is catching up — AR isn’t just for
showrooms and video games anymore.
TREND 3

Pioneering Area of AR.

novel at the time.
Democratization of AR Tech

As AR becomes easier to use, more accessible, and less expensive,
we can expect to see many more platforms and brands using it.
AR Ads on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

Big brands are experimenting with new AR ad formats on the
major social networks.

shopping technologies in 2019. — Gartner’s Unified Retail Retailer Survey
