Online Reemerges As Fastest-Growing Ad Medium
By comparison, the overall marketplace for ad-supported media is projected to grow only 6.5 percent during the first quarter, according to estimates from ad tracking firm TNS Media Intelligence/CMR. The TNS estimates are based on a forecast released in January 2004. TNS has not yet released its final estimates for first-quarter 2004, but another ad tracker, Nielsen Monitor-Plus, is expected to release its first-quarter estimates next week.
While the first quarter was expected to be the weakest of 2004 in terms of overall ad spending growth, the IAB data indicates that the Internet is expanding at its fastest rates of growth since the original dot.com boom. In fact, first-quarter 2004's $2.3 billion total is actually $177 million more than the medium's previous peak of $2.123 billion in the fourth quarter of 2000.
