ABOUT THE RESEARCH PROGRAM

Launched in 2005, Digital Life America is now quarterly starting with the Q4 2007 research. The study is syndicated and each quarter we provide a high level overview of the findings based on 1,000+ detailed interviews along with a 80+ page reference deck. Occasional special reports are also available.

Every quarter, the study covers the following core areas:
On-Demand & Linear TV
Broadband Entertainment
Mobile Entertainment & Wireless
Social Media
Movies, DVDs, Music, Sports

Our sampling ensures that we capture all key age and lifestage segments. In addition, African-American and English-speaking Hispanic populations are appropriately represented to provide a truly accurate picture of the changing American consumer.
