New Research from the EIAA Shows Increased Online Ad Spend due to Reduction in Offline Spend

81% of European advertisers claim that their allocated online ad spend has grown in 2008. 82% of them said they were funding the increase by downsizing their TV or direct marketing budgets according to a European Interactive Advertising Association survey.

38% of advertisers also now regard online as essential compared to 17% in 2006. 77% of those questioned found online advertising to have a positive impact on the perception of their brand as well as overall brand awareness (68%).

Online spend is increasingly being focused in three key areas. Display remains the dominant format taking 38% of spend, up 9% from 2006, while search and affiliate advertising are experiencing rapid growth, up 35% and 25% respectively since 2006.
