eMarketer projects a 5.1% increase in 2016 US ad revenues according to Mediapost. Here’s how it splits out by sector.
- Digital Media Spending up 15.4%
- TV ad spending up 5.1%.
- Outdoor ad spending up 2.6%.
- Print ad spending down 5%
Insider’s take: Not sure why emarketer projects such low outdoor growth. The US outdoor industry grew by 5.8% during the fourth quarter or 2015 and outdoor will get a boost during 2016 from political advertising just like everyone else.
