About

The Digital Dominance Benchmark is conducted yearly by Sia Partners and is the first benchmark that measures the digital strength of brands. It started in 2016 in the Netherlands as an annual recurring benchmark to see the state, but also the development of the digital strength of brands over the years.

This year the Benchmark covers 20 sectors and 328 brands. The used data allows for comparison between brands within and outside the sector, through the evaluation of over 50 KPI’s in 5 different digital channels: Branded Websites, YouTube, Social Media, SEO & Keyword usage, Apps (Mobile).

Here are some of the things companies must invest in to create digital differentiation:

A strong web presence, mobile optimization, emotional engagement, proactive social media, paid media advertising

Gain Insight

The benchmark results of the Digital Dominance Benchmark 2022 show that the accelerated digital growth, fuelled by the impact of COVID-19, has now stagnated. With the reopening of physical stores and hospitality, the offline Retail has drawn the attention of the consumer.

While in previous years we saw a trend of strong omnichannel and digital-first strategies, most brands were not able to continue their growth in digital performance.
