The British advertising scene broke past first-quarter spending records. New figures from the Advertising Association and WARC show an amazing 9.3% increase in ad spending, therefore driving the whole amount to a startling £9.2 billion between January and March.

Driven mostly by the constant expansion of digital advertising, this amazing surge in digital & online marketing exceeded earlier estimates by over three percentage points. Online channels today hold an astounding 79.7% of the overall advertising expenditure for the United Kingdom.

Ahead, industry analysts see the upswing carrying on. With a 9.2% increase expected in the second quarter, ad investment might rise to £9.7 billion.
