70% of consumers want to learn about products through content rather than through traditional advertising – MDG Advertising Average consumer spends 60 hours per week consuming content across devices - Nielsen
They seek it out from multiple sources.

They don’t care if it’s paid or editorial.
Viewers spend nearly the same amount of time reading editorial content as native ads – ShareThrough
But as they are increasingly inundated with content, consumers are increasingly skeptical and more difficult to engage.
As consumers become more digitally empowered, brand messages lose their impact – and likelihood
