Strong performances for TV and Radio in Q1 2014 and the improving economic outlook have led AA/Warc to revise its forecasts upwards for the UK’s ad market. According to the latest Expenditure Report, growth rates are predicted to reach 6% in 2014 and 6.7% in 2015.
Tim Lefroy, Chief Executive at the Advertising Association said: “These latest adspend data are another nudge up for the economy, and a feather in the cap of UK global leadership in online and mobile, with consumers getting more value each day.”
The Advertising Association/Warc Expenditure Report is the definitive measure of advertising activity in the UK.
It is the only source that uses advertising expenditure gathered from across the entire media landscape, rather than relying solely on estimated or modelled data. With total market and individual media data available quarterly from 1982, it is the most reliable picture of the industry and is widely used by advertisers, agencies, media owners and analysts.
