We provide advisory and market intelligence services to Digital Businesses, which we define as covering the following areas:

• Digital Technologies: This includes a very wide range of technology, product and service companies
• Digital Media & Content: This covers a wide range of companies including radio and television companies, newspaper and magazine publishers, the new IPTV players, geo-data providers, and the older Internet 'portal' players.
• Digital Communications: This includes telecommunications companies, satellite broadcasters, and the new mobile phone networks
• Digital & Hybrid Distribution: This includes e-shopping and e-distribution companies, as well as physical retail networks, for example, who now do more than 30% of their business online.

This way of viewing companies is slightly different from the conventional approach to market segmentation based on ‘industry verticals’. We prefer to use this approach because the definitions and boundaries based on the old verticals are becoming blurred, as business models and user behaviours change more quickly.
