Worth $2.3 billion or 37 per cent of the total $6.2 billion advertising spend in the first half 2014
A new report from the Commercial Economic Advisory Service of Australia (CEASA) revealed the Australian digital advertising market was worth $2.3 billion or 37 per cent of the total $6.2 billion advertising spend in the first half 2014.
The report also found free-to-air (FTA) TV spend was at 27 per cent, which remained the same from the prevoius six months.
For the full 2014 financial year, digital took 34 per cent of the advertising market share, rising from 30 per cent in FY2013.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) also offered some insight into the market, and is seeing continued growth in digital marketing.
“Mobile advertising is now outperforming both the magazine and outdoor advertising sectors, while video advertising is already more than double the total cinema ad market,” Interactive Advertising Bureau CEO, Alice Manners, said in a statement.
"Indeed current growth projections suggest that video advertising spend will reach almost half the pay TV ad market for this calendar year.
"As the market changes and agencies and marketers continue to tweak their budgets to get the best return on their investment and follow people’s media consumption habits, I wouldn’t be surprised to see digital representing $4 out of every $10 spent in the market for this calendar year."

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
