Key stat: More than half of advertisers worldwide are extremely or very confident in their ability to measure social media, video, search, and display marketing ROI, according to Nielsen.

Beyond the chart:

• Podcasts and streaming audio ranked particularly low because these platforms are still using download-based metrics, which are unreliable.
