Q4: Top Market Searches
 |
The majority of media searches centered around the big cities. Not surprisingly, these DMAs have a larger population and thus attract more advertising attention. Interestingly enough, the top 5 DMAs made up more than half of all DMA searches.
Q4: Top Media Category Searches
 |
As expected, billboards, alternative, and digital networks were still the most frequently searched categories in our marketplace. These results were based off searches that specifically selected categories. DOmedia has also recently introduced several new media categories to DOfind: mobile, cinema, and social. As the mobile and social advertising scenes begin to expand, we’ll make sure to keep an eye on their search trends!
Q4: Top Venue Searches
 |
The large percentage of media buyers selecting roadside venues may be attributed to the popularity of the billboard category. Hospitality, retail, and transit were the next most popular venues selected in Q4. These results were based on venues that were specifically selected.
