Core Content

The 2025 Outlook Study provides a comprehensive overview of U.S. advertising spend trends, investment goals, and growth strategies for the year ahead. It highlights the evolving landscape of the ad industry, emphasizing the role of digital channels, generative AI (Gen AI), and the challenges of cross-platform measurement. The study is based on a survey of U.S. buy-side ad investment decision-makers, primarily from brands and agencies, conducted between November 13th and December 6th, 2024, with a sample size of 200.

Main Viewpoints

1. Ad Spend Growth Outlook

Overall Growth: U.S. ad spend is expected to grow by 7.3% YoY in 2025, which is slower than the 11.8% YoY growth in 2024 driven by major events like the Presidential Election and the Summer Olympics.
Channel Growth:
- CTV (Connected TV), social media, and retail media will experience double-digit growth in 2025.
- Linear TV will see a sharp decline due to the absence of cyclical events.
Market Share:
- CTV, social, search, and display will account for nearly 70% of ad spend in 2025, highlighting the importance of addressability and measurability.

2. Investment Goals

Customer Acquisition: Buyers are focusing more on customer acquisition to offset smaller margins caused by product inflation.
Performance Advertising: Over 50% of buyers are increasing their performance advertising initiatives, while only 20% are increasing branding spend.
R/F and MMM: Buyers are optimizing reach and frequency (R/F) and multi-touch attribution (MMM) to better understand and track campaign performance.

3. Challenges & Strategies

Cross-Channel Measurement: This remains a top concern, especially for medium-to-large ad spenders (54%), who struggle with incrementality measurement.
AI and Data Solutions: Buyers are increasingly relying on AI and data-driven solutions to manage risks and improve campaign performance.
Data Clean Rooms: Large media spenders (>$50M) are twice as likely as small spenders (<$10M) to use data clean rooms for privacy-safe collaboration.

4. Gen AI Adoption

Widespread Use: 80% of buyers are using or exploring Gen AI tools for media planning and activation.
Agency Lead: Agencies are more likely than brands to use Gen AI (83% vs. 71%).
Human Oversight: 50% of Gen AI users have implemented human oversight and safety protocols to mitigate risks.
Collaborative Resources: Only one-third of buyers have formal collaborative resources (e.g., company-wide interfaces, subscriptions, prompt libraries) for leveraging Gen AI.

5. Video Streaming Ecosystem

Growth Potential: Buyers are excited about the evolution of video streaming, seeing it as a platform with potential to match the personalization and measurement capabilities of social and search.
Concerns: The biggest concern is cross-platform measurement, due to the complexity of the ecosystem and the challenges of managing frequency and buys across multiple platforms.
