Internet ad spend grows 4.6 per cent
In the first half of 2009 internet advertising weathered the recession and grew by 4.6% to £1,752.1m, despite the entire advertising sector contracting by 16.6% during the same period. According to the bi-annual online advertising expenditure study from the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) - the trade body for digital marketing - in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the World Advertising Research Centre (WARC) - the internet has now overtaken TV advertising to become the UK’s single biggest advertising medium. The UK remains the world leader in terms of market share for online, with the medium accounting for 23.5% in the first half of 2009. The results signal a significant restructure of marketing budgets as advertisers follow their audiences online and look to the internet for even more measureable and accountable methods. Search, classifieds and online displayThere's a new exhibit in Paris called “Forty Years of Ads on TV" and in an article in today's Times -- Michael Kimmelman used the opportunity to extol the superiority of French TV commercials over our own. He writes: "French commercials speak to French culture no less than French literature or music does. Long on sensuality, style and poetry, they are notably lean on facts and nearly allergic to the rough-and-tumble of commerce. Hard-sell tactics, standard in America, just don’t wash in France. American commercials go from the head to the wallet, British ones from the head to the heart, French, from the heart to the head."
