Eight Trends in Display Advertising, 2011

Forrester Trends Graph

Advertisers are expected to double spending within exchange-traded buys / real-time bidding (RTB) this year, jumping from 4% in 2010 to nearly 8% in 2011.

In the fast-paced digital media environment, display advertising has not only maintained its strength as a marketing communication channel, but has grown substantially in countless ways and continues to evolve; new developments are being made virtually every day.  According to Forrester, by 2016, advertising spend will grow to $77 billion on interactive marketing and display advertising is a key proponent in fueling that growth.  Together, search marketing, display advertising, mobile marketing, email marketing and social media will grow to 35% of all advertising spend.

Exchange-traded buys and real-time bidding are leading the charge. Exchange-traded buys refers to the purchasing of online advertising impressions via digital exchanges.  Each online media publisher will buy a “seat” on the exchange to auction off their advertising inventory to buyers (who use real-time bidding for each impression).  Real-time bidding (RTB) is the process of dynamically bidding and paying for each individual ad impression based on its calculated value to the advertiser.

From mobile, to social, to interactive rich media, display advertising has taken on many new forms and is impacting our media planning and buying process, as well as our key performance indicators (KPIs) and measurement plans.  Online behaviors continue to change.  Consumers are responding to experiences (not ads), and they want control of what they see and do, rather than being told.
