According to a study by a leading investment adviser, digital
advertising will overtake TV spend for the first time in 2017.
As traditional forms of advertising wane, digital advertising,
particularly social media advertising is on the rise. Global digital
advertising is expected to reach US$205 billion this year while traditional
television will reach US$192. According to an article in AdNews, eMarketer
predicts that digital advertising will equate to 54% of all media budgets in
Australia while TV spend will hit just over one-fifth of media budgets.
Social media advertising is growing strongly (up 51% in 2016) and is
expected to overtake newspaper advertising by 2019. Out of home advertising (advertising that reaches the consumers while they are
outside their homes like the example in our photo) and radio are expected to show growth.
