Study of In-housing: Strategic Direction, Trends, and Perceptions of Major Brands

Ben Jankowski & Tobias Wolf, Modern Media Solutions (June 2023)

This new, in-depth study reveals how sixteen leading global advertisers are working today—and their aspirations for the future.

To learn more about the goals and needs of our clients, Hudson MX commissioned an independent consulting firm, Modern Media Solutions, to delve into the state of affairs, challenges, and needs of advertisers.

We asked a consultant team to survey a group of large-scale advertising teams with various levels of in-house media operations. Advertisers participating in this research study, three-fourths of whom were listed among the 200 leading US national advertisers for 2023, shared a collective media spend of over $6 billion per year. The findings offer a thoughtful synthesis of the strategies these industry leaders employ today and their forward-looking visions for the future.
