First Half Ad Spending Slower Than Second

According to the full-year forecast by TNS Media Intelligence, total U.S. measured advertising spending is projected to increase 4.2 percent in 2008. Measured expenditures are forecast to grow by 3.6 percent in the first half of 2008 followed by a gain of 4.7 percent in the second half.

Jon Swallen, SVP Research of TNS Media Intelligence, says "...spending gains will be driven predominately by the powerful combination of Summer Olympics and record-setting levels of political advertising... (in addition to) the continued double digit growth rate of Internet display advertising... Offsetting this, a weakened economy will have a dampening effect on the broader, core advertising market."

Consumer Magazines and Network TV are projected to post small gains versus 2007, while Business-To-Business Magazines and Newspapers are expected to experience outright declines in ad spending.

Swallen concludes "The Internet will continue to gain share, principally at the expense of newspapers... Our projections for the 2007-08 cycle indicate television and magazines will maintain their shares, while the Internet will move past radio."
