Our latest report details the decline in online recruitment advertising this year, but we forecast a 20% increase for 2010.

Our new report, "Auto Advertising Outlook 2010: Running on Empty," brings good news for online advertising in 2010. Meanwhile, the rack publications and yellow pages will continue taking it on the chin.

These reports provide detailed U.S. automotive ad spending information for 2009 related to each classified vertical across 11 media categories including Interactive. They feature sales information related to the vertical. They also provide ad spend forecasts so that managers can make decisions based on trends.

It may be a horrible year for advertising overall, but not for local online – and certainly not for some companies seeing double- and even triple-digit growth for local operations. Local online advertising is growing at a 12% clip this year, and we’ve taken a look at 2010 and expect further growth. This report forecasts 2010 local online sales to hit $14.9 billion, or 5% higher than where we’re expecting things to end up this year. While mobile is a hot topic, we’re projecting it to be a relatively small category locally – only $500 million – in 2010.
This United States overall Media Usage Report provides a snapshot of local media usage – including newspapers, coupons, online services, and overall broadband/Internet usage. This report also illustrates the levels of online spending by consumers on key items such as clothing, computer software, books, etc and the leading reasons for visiting Web sites. We use a combination of Scarborough Research’s data (updated twice a year) and the Claritas PRIZM cluster segmentation.
