Advertiser spend on TV and social media is highly inflated in relation to daily consumption. This is according to analysis of advertising spend forecasts of 100 worldwide markets by marketing intelligence service WARC, and the results of a survey by GWI of more than 715,000 consumers. The analysis found that, as of the first quarter of 2021, social media now attracts more investment from advertisers than linear TV for the first time. However, both media draw far more of advertising budgets than the average consumer spends with these channels each day.

Social media, for example, is forecast to account for 39.1% of 2022 adspend among the eight media studied in the report – linear TV, online video, social media, print press, online press, podcasts, broadcast radio and online audio – but has a 21.4% share of daily media consumption, a discrepancy of 17.7 percentage points (pp) equivalent in value to $94.3bn.

“To reflect who we are and what we hope to build, I am proud to announce that starting today, our company is now Meta. Our mission remains the same — it’s still about bringing people together.
