State of Media 2025: The Second Annual Report

Audiences are evolving—and conversion is becoming the metric that matters most.

State of Media 2025 delivers fresh, data-driven insights into where audiences are truly engaging—and which platforms are driving real results.

Building on our inaugural 2024 study, this year’s report tracks emerging trends across radio, podcasts, streaming TV, cable, social media, YouTube, and video games. We explore not just reach, but resonance—and how media habits are shifting across key demographics.
