Now more than ever, consumers are infusing work and personal tasks such as researching for holiday gift-giving, early and often, and during the workweek.

Whether it’s gifting the newest PC or gaming console for new graduates, purchasing a gift card for a premium streaming service for grandparents, or researching the latest gadget for that “someone who has everything,” it’s never too early to learn how to reach key consumer audiences across the broad spectrum of technology. This might include: media, electronics, online services, telecommunications, hardware, and software, with new research, advertising insights, and shopping trends.
