Why £11.2bn of the UK's £16bn adspend is wasted

Why £11.2bn of the UK’s £16bn adspend is wasted

By Paul Simons on March 1, 2012

According to the Advertising Association 2011 ad expenditure in the UK will be circa £16 billion. So a client spending £1.6m in 2011 will account for 0.01% of all advertising. Makes you think harder about what is and isn’t effective, remembered, acted upon. My guess is the spread of spend might go something like this: [...]

Surging Facebook drives UK online display growth

By Angie Dean on March 29, 2011

For a decade now online display advertising has been the poor relation of search (mainly Google) but now in the UK display is growing far faster than search, 27.5 per cent up in 2010 compared to eight per cent for search. And driving the growth is Facebook, which now has 30m users in the UK. [...]

UK advertisers fret about spending cuts, higher taxes

By Stephen Foster on January 17, 2011
