WPP's M Group predicts:

Global ad spending forecast for 2010 will be $451 billion, up 3.5 percent compared to 2009.

U.S. ad spending is expected to decline 1.3 percent in 2010 to $145 billion

"The U.S media marketplace clearly bottomed out earlier this year and we expect moderate growth in 2011 consistent with [gross domestic product] improvement," said Rino Scanzoni , chief investment officer at GroupM. "Television and online spending will outpace other media as they lead with return on investment metrics."

As anticipated, countries in the so-called BRIIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia and China) contribute significant growth to the new global forecast, GroupM said.

"China remains the world's biggest contributor to ad growth in 2010, accounting for one in three of all net new ad dollars we expect this year, and one in five as the rest of the world catches up in 2011," said GroupM Futures director Adam Smith.

DoubleClick Benchmarks Report: 2009 Year-in-Review

Published in July 2010

click thru rates 2009

Data on impressions served through DoubleClick for Advertisers (DFA) by creative type. Simple flash is the dominant ad format accounting for close to 70% in the U.S. and 85% in the EMEA region. Static image ads was the next most common format representing 20% of the volume through DFA in the U.S. and 10% in the EMEA region.

  • In 2009, the overall click-through rate for the U.S. did not change from 2008 (0.10%) and what’s more is in a month by month comparison of click-through rates (CTRs) from 2008 to 2009 we saw that CTRs were very consistent throughout the year with a minor spike in January -- possibly a result of the post-holiday sale season.

  • Consistent with last year’s report, we continued to find a correlation between ad size and clicks and interaction rates -- that is, the larger the ad size, the higher the rate. This finding holds true for both U.S. and the EMEA region.

 

 

Viral advertising on the Internet is increasing. Going viral occurs when one person watches the video clip and then sends it on to friends. These friends then tell other friends. Here are some of the best examples from Wieden & Kennedy's ad campaign for Old Spice.

Spot Radio is up . Spot radio is local radio. Maybe local retailers are realizing that radio is a good buy with low (CPM) cost per thousand and works well to drive foot traffic to a store.
