TV advertising in 2007

The year 2007 saw the strengthening of new TV technologies: the DTT success, the emerging IPTV offers, the diffusionn of audiovisual content over mobile phones, the proliferation of Internet video content settle a new audiovisual landscape, which is changing public's consuption habits.
The digital platforms offer their clients new services, often connected with interactivity: video on demand, catch up TV, forum and chat rooms with other video fans. The latter are just a fraction of the newest commercial formulas.

The advertising industry looks for alternative commercial formats, fitting this new framework. Split screen or product placenment try to compansate the decreasing shares of TV advertising, while on the Internet search engines, sponsored links and grafic formats accont for the largest share of the market growth.

In spite of this changes, the TV advertising market grew by 3.2% in volume in 2007. However, each country displayed different patterns: in Spain TV advertising is still quite a lively market, but in the United Kingdom the market is nearly still: only +1% over 2006. On the other hand, here the Internet represents 15% of the advertising market and in 2007 Google advertising revenue overcame those at Channel 4 and ITV.
