Ad spend in the U.S. generates billions in revenue - in 2019, the top 10 marketers spent over $41 billion on various forms of advertising.

While the ad industry has taken a significant hit in 2020 because of COVID-19, Visual Capitalist's Carmen Ang notes that it’s projected to see overall growth in 2021, and a majority of this growth is expected to come in the form of internet advertising.

Like directories, newspaper and magazine spend have seen significant drops since 2012, with projected decreases on the horizon.
