The new adspend total in the UK is thus predicted to reach of £18,786m by the end of the year – excellent news for the digital marketing sector.

With internet advertising up by 13.7%, digital advertising is fast on the heels of the current dominant advertising format, TV, which gew by 14.5% in Q3 2013.

Other more traditional forms of advertising, such as the cinema (-8.1%), newsbrands (-6.9%), out of home (-4.8%), radio (-4.3%) and magazine brands (-2.2%) all suffered year-on-year decline, as more and more brands look to invest in digital and online advertising.
