What is CMUST?
Since its inception in 2004, IAB Canada’s Canadian Media Usage Trends Study (CMUST) is the only Canadian study crossing all major media and combining each channel’s research audience currency of record. The study documents consumers’ changing media consumption across all media as digital technologies impact the lives of Canadians. It focuses on how new devices and new types of content are triggering ways consumers devote more and more time to the Internet.

9:05am – 10:05am | Media Stories: CMUST French Canada Presentation 2018 Jean-François Bourdeau, Director, Marketing Science, OmnicomMediaGroup The summer of 2018 has been called “bummer summer ’18” due to a series of events that occurred between June and September 2018. Events included a Thai kid’s soccer team trapped in a flooded cave, the Federal Court’s decision that delayed the building of the Trans Mountain pipeline, the nastiness that occurred during tense NAFTA negotiations, deaths, fires and suicides. We begin this year’s CMUST 2018 by examining and quantifying the attention Canadians paid to 17 key news events over the summer. The priorities we give to these events speak to who we are and the degree to which these stories bind us together as a nation. Thanks to the internet, and other legacy media, Canadians become aware of these news stories and so once again, it is time to quantify the media landscape in total and French Canada. Media consumption is changing quickly and the extent of change is examined. There are eight chapters in this year’s CMUST presentation. 1. Devices – 9 routes for accessing the Internet. 2. Mapping Media – by REACH and TIME. 3. E-Commerce – an update. 4. Online Audio – fastest growing channel this year. 5. Video – so important, so massive. 6. Unearthed – the size of the unexplored. 7. Money – share of money/share of time. 8. Summary and Implications. The presentation of the 2018 CMUST study will be made in French |
