Protecting and revitalising our core brands in print 17
Protecting and revitalising our core brands in print What s happened to print? Marked slow-down in print advertising Accelerated in Q2 2015 as a result of further contraction of retail advertising spend The tabloid market, particularly the red-tops, have been more affected than the qualities Narrower advertiser set Dependence on retail / telecoms There is an underlying shift of spend away from press into digital National newspapers advertising as a proportion of total UK advertising expenditure declined from 7.3% in 2013 to 5.7% in 2015 With digital growing from 36.5% in 2013 to 43.3% in 2015 TV has been successful in holding share through price inflation TV spend of total UK advertising expenditure remained at 24.6% in 2013 and 2014 TV yields have held up despite viewing declining by 5.4% in 2014 Source: AA/WARC Expenditure Report Q4 2014 released in April 2015, Enders Analysis December 2014, Enders Analysis US and UK TV ad markets [2015-039] 18
