Google noted that it’s “critical” that the CMA has enough time to review feedback from industry tests, which it has asked participants to provide by the end of June.

Forbes logo

Advertising spend is likely to be up 5.6% in the U.S. this year to $360 billion, according to financial analyst Brian Wieser. Before you write this trend off based on the impending election year, the increase excludes political advertising, which on its own Wieser expects to hit $15.5 billion across all media.

Growth is good for the ad industry and marketers, but what caught my eye was how the media pie is being sliced. As you might expect, dollars are being diverted to digital and what we now call performance media. Wieser says that digital advertising should carve off 76% of all advertising spending in 2028 (versus 64% in 2023).
