UK & EUROPE Executive Summary Despite Economic Turmoil, Digital Ad Spending on the Rise; Mobile Marketing to Spike in 2012 As Europe continues to struggle with a stubborn sovereign debt crisis, the region’s online ad spending is actually prospering, despite the difficult general economic environment. Given the harsh fiscal climate, however, total media ad spending is not expected to rise substantially. As a result, Europe’s still burgeoning online ad spending market will take a greater share of total ad spending and remain one of the only growing forms of ad spend. Overall, market conditions in Europe highlight the importance of and place more emphasis on forms of Internet marketing and communication. In similar fashion to the past few years, Internet advertising formats such as paid search, display ads and social media marketing experienced an increase in spending among UK and European Marketers in 2011, continuing the shift away from offline advertising like newspaper, radio and television. Recent statistics suggest that this trend will continue through 2012 and beyond. A relative newcomer to online advertising, mobile marketing exploded in 2011 and all signs indicate that it will become one of the leading forms of Internet ad spending in the very near future. The use of smartphones and tablets is increasing so rapidly that, in most European countries, over 90% of the population operates a mobile device. As people get more comfortable searching and interacting on the go, the Internet’s landscape is once again changing, and mobile marketing is certainly at the forefront. This Internet Marketing Trends Report is a brief summary of the current online marketing stats and patterns in the UK and Europe, as well predictions for the next few years. Specifically, the report covers Internet usage and penetration, advertising spending, Internet marketing, social media trends and activities and the expansion of mobile marketing.

    UK & EUROPE Executive Summary Despite Economic Turmoil, Digital Ad Spending on the Rise; Mobile Marketing to Spike in 2012 As Europe continues to struggle with a stubborn sovereign debt crisis, the region’s online ad spending is actually prospering, despite the difficult general economic environment. Given the harsh fiscal climate, however, total media ad spending is not expected to rise substantially. As a result, Europe’s still burgeoning online ad spending market will take a greater share of total ad spending and remain one of the only growing forms of ad spend. Overall, market conditions in Europe highlight the importance of and place more emphasis on forms of Internet marketing and communication. In similar fashion to the past few years, Internet advertising formats such as paid search, display ads and social media marketing experienced an increase in spending among UK and European Marketers in 2011, continuing the shift away from offline advertising like newspaper, radio and television. Recent statistics suggest that this trend will continue through 2012 and beyond. A relative newcomer to online advertising, mobile marketing exploded in 2011 and all signs indicate that it will become one of the leading forms of Internet ad spending in the very near future. The use of smartphones and tablets is increasing so rapidly that, in most European countries, over 90% of the population operates a mobile device. As people get more comfortable searching and interacting on the go, the Internet’s landscape is once again changing, and mobile marketing is certainly at the forefront. This Internet Marketing Trends Report is a brief summary of the current online marketing stats and patterns in the UK and Europe, as well predictions for the next few years. Specifically, the report covers Internet usage and penetration, advertising spending, Internet marketing, social media trends and activities and the expansion of mobile marketing.
