Small Growth For US Ad Spending in 2007
Total U.S. advertising spending is expected to increase 2.6% in 2007 to $153.7 billion, according to TNS Media Intelligence. This anticipated tepid gain is the smallest since the media economy emerged from its 2001 recession and follows estimated advertising spending growth of 3.8 percent in 2006. Advertising expenditures are forecast to increase by just 2.1% in the first half of 2007 followed by a gain of 3.2% in the second half, paralleling an expected late year uptick in overall economic activity. The outlook for 2007 is tempered by the absence of two biennial advertising events, the Olympics and federal elections, which tend to contribute an incremental 80-100 basis points to growth rates. The expect share of total ad spending will continue to shift away from the Top 100 marketers, as media fragmentation enables more brands with smaller media budgets to participate in the market, while concurrently helping dampen media price inflation.

Internet display advertising is expected to continue growing at double-digit rates in 2007 with Syndication TV, Outdoor and Magazines also exceeding the overall market average. Network TV is projected to be almost flat versus 2006, while newspapers and Spot TV are expected to experience outright declines in ad revenue.
