M A R C H 8, 2 0 1 2 Inside the eMarketer Forecast: What to tell your CEO about the 23% growth rate… David Hallerman Principal Analyst
What we’ll look at this morning… • Online ad spend: growth and concentration • Time and money: increasingly even • Ad formats: imbalance skews the picture • Video, video: cross-channel central • Social: what is its true place • Mobile: increasing opportunity • Three numbers:23.3and24.1and15.2
Questions about why eMarketer projects ad spending growth at 23.3%
Total online ad spending (what’s behind the growth)
Total online ad spending, huge gains annually, but growth rate is slowing down
One factor: this year’s elections will help online ad spending grow by about the same rate as last year
8 of 15 researchers put their estimates for 2012 at $35 billion or higher
Digital’s share of total media ad spending is finally starting to match media usage time
Five companies will get more than 2/3 of digital ad revenues in 2012

Ad formats (several imbalanced arenas)
Search will continue to get the largest share of ad dollars % Total Digital 2012 Source: eMarketer, January 2012
…even a single ad can dissolve the classic division between the two
Display dollars in 2015 will increase by more than half from 2012 — but growth rate will decline from 24.1% to 10.8%
Video share up, banner share down, sponsorship a potentially profitable niche
In fact, display spending is less consolidated than the total market
Impressions match money: The not-top-5 get about half of display impressions

Video growth (cross-channel possibilities)

However, as measured by share of total video impressions, the mid-tier is getting squeezed out
As seen on the web? (Nah!) TV’s power is still unmatched for many goals
In a typical week, US consumers watch video mainly on TV, however… % Total Video Hours, Average Week in Q3 2011 Source: Nielsen, February 2012
TV forever? Containers may change, but the content basically remains the same
Social and Mobile (beyond the hype)
Social network sites will see greater ad growth in 2012 than the overall market —43% vs. 23% (but much more than advertising)
The social space is large, getting larger — does that mean due for shakeout?
Total mobile ad growth will be driven by everything but text messaging, from $1.45 billion last year to $2.61 billion this year
About half of mobile spending went to Google — far more than even Apple
The mobile market is mainly search, with a large slice slice of banners and rich media
Mobile display, one more market that’s concentrated, but a bit less so
Conclusions: Ad spending growth is uneven, but… • The 23.3% projection for 2012 is for the overall market. • But the overall market is imbalanced. • Some of the imbalanced elements: • five companies will get nearly 67% of ad revenues • search nearly 50% of whole, and growing at 27% • video growth at 55%, but makes up only 8% of total • social dominated by Facebook, with 70% of category ad dollars • mobile display dominated by three networks, and mobile search is nearly all Google • Display online, and video in particular, offer more opportunities for lessening the imbalance than does search, social, or mobile. • Display growth (sans social and mobile) at 15.2% more accurately represents the mainstream online ad market.
