UK Online Ads Soar

Internet advertising spends in the UK rose over 2mn
in 2006 - representing an increase of 41.2 per cent as brands
move their marketing budgets online.
Advertisers spent 2.016bn on online advertising over the
course of the year, targeting the 31mn Britons who use the
Internet, according to figures released by the Internet
Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) last
week. This increase means that the Internet's share of all
advertising revenues has increased from 7.8 per cent in 2005 to
11.4 per cent in 2006. The UK's share of spend on internet
advertising is nearly double the global average, which is 5.8
per cent.
Such growth was not at all representative of the advertising
industry as a whole, which grew by just 1.1 per cent over the
year - with almost all traditional spending on traditional media
losing revenues. If the Internet were excluded from the figures,
then advertising revenues as a whole would have dropped by
466.1mn or 2.9 per cent. Guy Phillipson, CEO of the IAB
commented: "2006 was a tough 12 months for the advertising
market as a whole, but once again the internet bucked the trend,
recording a 41% increase in ad revenues."
The Internet has now overtaken national newspapers in terms
of revenue and represents a spend just over half of that devoted
to television, which dropped 4.7 per cent over the period to
3.9bn. Paul Pilkington of PwC commented:"The incredible
growth of online has beaten all the industry predictions. The
internet has now overtaken National Press as marketers have
followed their audiences online and enjoyed measurable returns
on their investment."
When it comes to formats, all kinds of internet advertising
showed strong growth. Revenues from display adverts - such as
banners and skyscrapers - rose 35 per cent, a figure boosted by
the increased use of 'rich' media formats such as video.
However, paid search listings and classified advertising rose
more quickly, growing to 52 per cent to 1.2bn and 45 per cent
to 379mn respectively.
