"As the world economy gradually improves in 2014, so will advertising spending. We now expect global advertising revenues to grow by +6.5% (previously: +6.1%) to reach $521.6bn, which will be the strongest year-on-year growth since 2010 (+8.4%, following
the 2009 recession).

Digital media was the fastest growing media category in 2013, increasing 16% to $118B and reaching a 24% market share globally. Within digital media, social networks generated more than $9bn of spend in 2013, growing by +58%. Social media was also one of the catalysts (the other one being Search) for a jump in mobile advertising revenues, which almost doubled in size (+85%) to reach $16bn (14% of global internet advertising)."
