Global ad spending stands firm to increase +3.2% for 2012 After growth in advertising rose in the third quarter by +4.3 percent, quarter four advertising spend growth receded to a more modest +2.5 percent, with spend for the quarter at USD 154 billion. The overall increase in advertising for 2012 was slightly better at +3.2 percent, with global advertising totalling USD 557 billion.

Increases in advertising budgets were witnessed in all regions, except Europe, in 2012. The Middle East & Africa seeing the biggest percentage increase in advertising for the year (+14.6%) as stability returned to the region especially the key market of Egypt (+20.4%). However, this region remains sensitive to further political

disturbances.

Asia Pacific underperformed as it saw its annual increase in ad spend fall from +11.5 percent in 2011 to +2.8 percent in 2012. The main cause of this was the +1.9 percent reported by China in 2012 and it remains to see if this country can return to the fast growth seen previously.

Europe continued to see deep cuts in advertising budgets with a -5.3 percent decrease for quarter four, resulting in a -4.2 percent decrease for the year. Even economic powerhouse Germany reported a second consecutive quarter of decline in advertising spend (-1.0%). These trends suggest that European countries will continue to face a challenge in 2013 to regain advertising dollars.

Quarter three increases seen in the North America region for Automotive ad spend failed to keep pace resulting

in a very minor increase of 0.9 percent for quarter four. This contributed to a relatively small 3.4 percent increase for Automotive ad spend globally for 2012.

Trends to Watch

Disagreement on the necessary financial path for the U.S. economy has had an impact and resulted in self-imposed government cuts. It remains to be seen what affect this will have on an advertising market which has benefited from the U.S. presidential election in the second half of 2012.

Europe’s struggles are likely to continue and it remains to be seen what impact, if any, the uncertainty caused by the Italian election results will have on the advertising market in this region. In the next edition of the Nielsen Global AdView Pulse, Nielsen will examine these impacts.

MEDIA -- % CHANGE YEAR TO DATE Media Types

Advertising spend for 2012 rose 3.2 percent YOY as the trend saw in the first three quarters of the year continued into Q4. Television remains the most favored means on communicating with customers with a 62.8 percent share of spend.

Television advertising spend ended the year with an increase of 4.3%, bolstered by increases in spend from within North America in the second half of the year. Coupled with television’s high share of spend this underlines the importance placed on this medium by advertisers.

Press fared less well in 2012 with both Magazines (-1.6%) and Newspapers (-0.2%) reporting slight decreases in advertising spend. Magazines saw a decline in ad spend in multiple regions (Europe -7.7%, North America -2.5% & Middle East and Africa -2.4%) whereas Newspapers was a victim of the problems affecting Europe (-7.5%) showing increases in all other regions.

Display Internet advertising, though measured in a smaller subset of countries, saw positive growth in 2012 with an increase in advertising spend of 9.9 percent. It grew particularly well in the Latin America region with a 21.2 percent increase for the year. Perhaps an even better achievement was the 7.4 percent increase for 2012 Internet advertising seen in Europe even in the face of the current economic situation. Cinema also saw the same increase in Europe.

Internet and Outdoor were the only mediums to show positive growth YOY in all the regions where they were monitored.

Macro Sectors

Telecommunications (+7.0%) ended 2012 in pole position for increases in advertising spend. However, FMCG’s strong quarter four increase (+9.5%) meant the full year lead was only marginal. This coupled with its 25.1 percent share of spend meant FMCG advertising spend for 2012 grew in importance in driving forward advertising spend globally.

Automotive advertising spend slipped in quarter four to a decrease of -2.8 percent resulting in a slight growth of +3.4 percent for the year of 2012.

When comparing 2011 increases in advertising spend with 2012, two sectors show significant changes in trends. Clothing & Accessories, which was last year’s top performer with an increase of 17.5 percent, only saw an increase in 2012 of 2.8%. Similarly, Healthcare actually saw a decline of 0.7 percent in 2012 after reporting an increase of 11.2 percent in 2011.

the Middle East, Africa and North America about their confidence levels and economic outlook. This Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index is developed based on consumers’ confidence in the job market, status of their personal finances and readiness to spend. The sample has quotas based on age and sex for each country based on their Internet users, is weighted to be representative of Internet consumers, and has a maximum margin of error of +0.6%. Figures are expressed in Million USD and are gross except for Australia, Ireland, and the UK which are estimated net at source, and France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey—to which Nielsen Global AdView estimated weighting factors are applied. USA and Spanish figures are based on apples-to-apples comparisons to the previous year, both in terms of coverage and methodology, in order to give a more accurate representation of the trends. The source for the exchange rates is OANDA (website: www.oanda.com ) and the rate applied to all figures is the 2011 yearly average. In order to reflect the most accurate picture for media type trends and macro-sector trends, the methodology used for each may differ. Adjustments and estimates necessary to represent the media type trends accurately may not be suitable for the macro-sector trends. In some cases a direct comparison is therefore not possible.

Latin America Region Overview Highlights

• Latin America returns to more positive 7.6% increase in advertising for Q4

• Slowdown in Brazil continues but Argentina shows significant increase of 29.5%

• Mexico shows first increase of 2012 (+1.6%)

After a cooling in Q3 (+4.7%), Latin America returned to a more positive 7.6 percent increase in Q4, pushing the 2012 YOY increase to 6.7 percent. Argentina continued to report a significant increase of 29.5 percent in advertising spend for Q4. In contrast, Brazil only grew 5.1% which was in line with the increase seen in Q3 (+4.8%) but lacking behind the performance of the first half of the year (+14.9% in Q1 and +7.5% in Q2). Mexico reported an increase of 1.6 percent for Q4 which saw a reverse on the declines reported in the first three quarters of the year, although this was not enough to change a decline of 3.5 percent for 2012 overall.

Significant Q4 advertising expenditure growth was seen in Telecommunications (+37.7%), whereas Automotive saw a very disappointing 10.4 percent decline for the quarter.

The Netherlands Country Overview

Highlights

• The Netherlands economy declines slightly in Q4 after significant contraction in Q3.

• Ad market shows a -10.9% decline in Q4

After a dramatic contraction during the third quarter, the Dutch economy continued to show a decline in the fourth—recording a 0.2 percent decline against Q3 and a 0.9 percent decline year-on-year. As concerns over job security, retirement, and the housing market plagued consumers, it’s no surprise that consumer confidence dropped 7 points from the third quarter to 76 points—according to Nielsen’s consumer confidence index.

The Dutch ad market showed progressively larger cuts to budgets during the year, with the fourth quarter ending with a -10.9 percent decrease in spending year-on-year. For 2012 as a whole, ad spending contracted by -6.4 percent.

Of the macro sectors monitored in this report, only the Automotive sector showed a small boost in Q4 ad spending.
