The document summarizes key digital marketing trends for 2013 based on a presentation by Steve O'Farrell of The Royals. It finds that the gap between first and second screen consumption is narrowing as people use multiple devices. It also notes that TV and Twitter have a symbiotic relationship, with each driving traffic to the other. Other trends include a focus on mobile apps and user experience over websites, social care replacing customer care, and hijacking existing media versus traditional advertising buys. Marketers are advised to focus on user engagement and attention rather than just impressions.
