This quarter reported one of the highest ever spends - $52.49m. The Moving Annual Total is now at an all time high of $199.8m. Growth continues: spend on internet advertising grew 5.53% from the same quarter in 2008, and is up 6.55% from last quarter. Industry sources suggest that all other major media revenues dropped again in Q2.

The television industry does publish its data*, and television advertising revenue for the first half of 2009 was reported at $257.1 million, a drop of 13.3% from the $296.5 million achieved in the first half of 2008. The equivalent figure for interactive is an increase of 7.00% for the first half of 2009 over first half of 2008 (and a growth of 10.5% in Display advertising which is more directly comparable to TV). *Source NZTBC Television advertising follows recessionary trend’ - Published: Aug 10, 2008

Online represented 8.3% of all adspend in 2008, and given the current trends this share will have increased in Q2 2009. We expect it to exceed 10% for the full 2009 year. Download PDF of the IAB Insight Report
