The premium display advertising market will continue to grow revenues in 2010 and rebound from the 2009 downturn, according to initial findings from the Solbright Digital Media Index™ (DMI), which covers digital ad trends based on actual transactions in the US.
The report says that if the strength of this market continues on its current pace through the end of 2010, the year will prove to be the most successful ever for premium inventory providers.
The premium digital ad segment accounts for 80 percent of display ad revenues overall in the US (an estimated $23 billion in 2009), but there have been no sources of reliable data to measure pricing and spending trends in the broader US market.
The full findings from the DMI will be provided to Solbright’s clients on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, a downloadable report highlighting noteworthy DMI findings will be made available to the public at http://www.solbright.com/dmireport.php.
