2009 Top Trends


Consulting giant KPMG surveyed media and advertising pros about the top six trends for 2009. Here are the results (the pros were asked to choose the top from six options):

Ad downturn/ad spending down: 49%
Transformation of cell phone into personal computers: 40%
Thinning of "old media" through bankruptcies and closures: 38%
Internet penetration opening global markets: 25%
Failure of social networks to monetize as expected: 18%
Smartphones' potential for location-targeted content, advertising and marketing: 17%

The expectation of shifting ad dollars from traditional to digital media is down to 75% from 90% a year ago. The recession has changed everyone's expectations of what's to come in advertising for 2009. Those that were optimistic now have a wait-and-see attitude.
