NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 07/03/12 — , operators of the largest , reaching over a billion users globally, today released the results from its “Advertiser and Agency Survey,” that captures evolving attitudes about and the “Rest of Web,” particularly around big data and social media.
Conducted in June 2012, it follows on the heels of a survey from March 2012, in which 33Across asked identical questions of its clients. The new survey was taken in order to gauge the changing attitudes and spend around Facebook vs. Rest of Web. Full survey results are available below.
In the new survey, over 70% of respondents said that they focus 80% of their attention on “Rest of Web” (ROW) vs. Facebook, a 23% increase from March.
Moreover, when asked “Do you see your Facebook spend changing vis-à-vis the rest of the web?” five and half times as many respondents — relative to the number from the pre-IPO survey — asserted that they were planning on “decreasing [their] Facebook spend.”
Additionally, the number of people who said they are very concerned about “understanding and driving ROI from big data” rose from 91% to 96%. And, the number of people who said they are concerned about integrating that data jumped from 73% to 82%.
Arguably, the most unexpected finding was the recent shift by marketers from Facebook towards advertising on Rest of Web. Respondents represented multiple verticals including Automotive, CPG, Financial Services, Retail, and Travel.
“What was particularly surprising to me was the dramatic shift in advertiser and agency attitudes towards Facebook after the IPO,” said Allie Kline, Chief Marketing Officer, 33Across. “Facebook-s future greatly depends on advertiser spend — on both the web and mobile devices — and this survey indicates that they have some work to do to restore advertiser confidence in their Facebook investments.”
