Nielsen has reported today that U.S. advertising for the full year 2008 was down 2.6% compared to the full year 2007. You are so not shocked. “Given the state of the U.S. economy, a decline in ad spending was expected, but it’s not as bad as it could have been,” Annie Touliatos, vice president of sales development for Nielsen’s ad tracking service, said in a statement.
Hispanic Cable TV (+9.6%) and Cable TV (+7.8%) were the only two media to show ad growth in 2008. Cable was the highest revenue-generating medium with .6 billion in sales.
