The Media Technology Monitor (MTM©) is Canada's premier research product in the area of technology ownership and use. Based on 12,000 telephone interviews annually (including a cellphone only sample), the MTM has spoken with over 140,000 Canadians (equally split between Anglophones and Francophones) over the past decade making it the most accurate and comprehensive media technology tracking survey of its kind. Now, building on the reliability of our telephone research, the MTM has added a new Return-To-Sample (RTS) online survey to facilitate deeper dive studies and focused understanding of Canadians and their Internet-based activities
The MTM is Canada's most accurate syndicated media technology survey based on interviews with over 12,000 Canadians – 6,000 Anglophones and 6,000 Francophones – across two survey periods (Fall and Spring). The MTM's large sample sizes and high response rates exceed industry standards and provide subscribers with an in-depth, accurate look at hard-to-reach groups and niche markets such as Generation Z, Cord Cutters and cell-phone only households.
Anlgophones and Francophones consume existing and new media technology differently. Understanding and evaluating the differences between the two groups can be critical to any business strategy. Executive level reports, the Data Analysis Tool and the customizable Trending Tool all highlight the differences between the two language groups as well as providing insight on Canadians as a whole.
As one of Canada’s longest running surveys, the MTM provides subscribers with a trusted source for all things media and technology related. Our dynamic Trending Tool allows users to track over a decade of data for over 100 technologies and activities and filter these variables by numerous demographics including language market, region, age or gender.
A better understanding of your competition can give you the edge in today’s aggressive marketplace, and this year’s MTM includes information on hundreds of brands and services. Through the ongoing release of research reports, use of the Data Analysis Tool and the new forecasting section of the site, subscribers have access to in-depth competitive analysis through which they can identify and analyze media technology products and services by brand and find out more about competitors and their customers.
Gain from the experience and knowledge of a dedicated team of professional market researchers and industry analysts who will provide insight and observations in the form of syndicated reports of topical issues released through the year. Subscribers can also benefit from forecasts for select technologies providing insight over the long term.
