Media Buying Consolidation Only Slightly Impacts Global Ad Spend Share
The top 10 media buying agencies in the world account for only a fraction of U.S. and worldwide ad spending and the percentage is up only a touch since last year, in spite of agency consolidation, according to Mediapost. Share of buying from the top 10 was 30.0 percent of the $569.8 billion that Universal McCann forecaster Bob Coen estimates was spent on media last year. That percentage is up a bit from 29.3 percent in 2004, proving that consolidation is, indeed, having an impact, but only a small one.
