This data has been out for a few months now, but for anyone whose business depends on advertising, it’s worth a second look.

It’s from the World Advertising Research Center’s Advertising Statistics Yearbook 2008.

I’m not surprised that the internet is at one end of the scale, while press and direct mail are at the other. Then you have cinemas near to the middle. The press is trying so hard and spending so much on advertising so they don’t fade out of existence, they won’t go out without a bit of a fight.
