Introduction• Census of 35 major NZ media owners and agencies• In conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the IAB has produced

quarterly interactive advertising spend figures in NZ since 2007 • As used by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), these figures are the most

authoritative means of assessing the size of the interactive advertising market in NZ

• Data shown by:– General Display split out by Video and Ad Exchange

• Banner display by verticals i.e. Finance, Travel and Accommodation, Telecommunication

– Search & Directories: paid search is a mixture of actual (agency spend) and estimated data (direct) and includes revenue from online directories

– Classifieds: revenue from ads placed to buy or sell an item or service (does not include consumer Trade Me auctions)

– Mobile: from general display or search engine listings viewed on mobile devices such as a smartphone or tablet

– Social media: only reports agency spend from agency report contributors – this amount does NOT include direct and amounts from other media agencies in NZ and no estimation is included. This accounts for the small amount currently being reported

• All growth percentages are “normalised” to exclude the effect of new contributors to percentage measures of industry growth and also to remove the effect of any previous contributors that have not provided figures for the current quarter

• For this reason, calculating percentages based on the dollar totals may not result in the same growth percentage figures

• This is due to totals including all reported revenues, while “normalised” percentages exclude contributions from new contributors made during the comparison period and/or previous contributions made by contributors not contributing in this quarter

• This approach is to ensure we provide both a true picture of industry growth and an accurate measure of total industry spend

2015 Q1 Executive Summary

8www.iab.org.nz representing NZ's fastest growing and exciting industry

Interactive Advertising grows by 53 percent in the March Quarter 2015

Interactive Advertising* continues to grow with the latest IAB/PwC Online Advertising Report noting that it generated $179.88 million in Q1, 2015, a 53 percent increase year on year.

The Search and Directory market was the star performer for the March quarter, growing 91 percent year on year to reach $108 million.

Mobile advertising continued its steady climb, generating $3.9 million in the quarter a year on year increase of 88%.

The Report shows this growth has been driven by smartphones, with phone based advertising revenue increasing 110 percent year over year, while tablet revenue grew 34 percent in the same period.   Overall mobile advertising expenditure now makes up 2% percent of total online advertising expenditure and presents a marketers with a fantastic opportunity to extend their brands’ reach in a largely uncluttered environment.

A 34 percent lift in the General Display advertising category was fuelled by a healthy 39 percent lift in Video revenue. The big mover in this area, however, was Programmatic Advertising which surged by a massive 172% compared to Q1 2014.

* Interactive Advertising: Advertising viewed on a desktop PC, laptop or mobile device and accessed via an internet connection, 3G, 4G or WIFI.
