Advertising agencies have benefitted from rising consumer spending, corporate profit and per capita disposable income. Despite the outbreak of COVID-19 and falling advertising expenditure in 2020, as corporate profit returned in the following years, agencies were able to capitalize on an explosion of pent-up demand as businesses targeted a consumer base with growing disposable income. As traditional media advertising expenditures decline, digital ad spending has captured the spotlight. Consumer behavior, increasingly leaning towards online platforms and mobile devices, has reshaped advertising strategies, pushing agencies to focus on digital-first approaches. Industry-wide revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 3.6% over the past five years and is expected to total $78.2 billion in 2025, when revenue will inch forward by an estimated 0.9% and profit will slide to 20.7%. The industry has benefited from the growth of digital media, encouraging investment in online ads. The pivot towards digital, hastened by the pandemic, saw businesses diverting budgets from traditional media to more agile and nuanced digital platforms. The rising demand for digital services has motivated more companies to invest in advertising since audiences are more fragmented now than ever. A more fragmented audience requires clients to purchase advertising space on an increasing number and types of platforms to achieve a wide-reaching message. Increased data analytics and programmatic buying proficiency enable agencies to craft more targeted, measurable campaigns. Companies like Omnicom have adopted aggressive acquisition strategies to fortify their digital capabilities. In the future, advertising agencies will continue to enjoy growth, driven by solid increases in advertising expenditure. As companies adapt to the benefits of the development of digital platforms, clients will seek integrated marketing solutions that combine multiple media platforms, resulting in a greater need for advertising agencies. New forms of advertising will continue to promote growth. With the dominance of mobile advertising and the prominence of connected TV due to cord-cutting trends, agencies are set to delve deeper into emerging video formats and artificial intelligence. Viral marketing will keep profit stable for advertising agencies since there are minimal costs once the advertisement is online. Privacy concerns and regulatory shifts, such as third-party cookie deprecation, will push agencies towards more privacy-centric ad models, with first-party data becoming crucial. Despite these challenges, the industry is poised for growth, driven by burgeoning corporate ad budgets and per capita disposable income. Industry revenue is forecast to mount at a CAGR of 1.1% through the end of 2030 to total $82.8 billion.

Market Dynamics of Traditional Advertising Agency Service Market

Key Drivers for Traditional Advertising Agency Service Market

Increased brand awareness campaigns to drive market growth: The increasing emphasis on extensive brand awareness initiatives is invigorating the traditional advertising agency sector. Companies persist in allocating resources to reliable media outlets such as television, radio, print, and outdoor advertising to cultivate robust brand identities and forge emotional connections with broad audiences. Both government and corporate clients are progressively depending on these services for impactful campaigns.

Expansion of television and radio channels to boost market growth: With the rise of television and radio outlets, advertisers now enjoy a wider reach and improved segmentation possibilities. Niche and regional channels facilitate targeted promotions, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of campaigns. Traditional advertising agencies are reaping the benefits from the demand for innovative content and strategic media purchasing across various platforms, which is driving ongoing market growth.

Key Restraint for the Traditional Advertising Agency Service Market

Limited audience targeting capabilities to limit market growth: Restricted Audience Targeting Capabilities to Hinder Market Growth Traditional advertising is characterized by a lack of precise targeting compared to digital platforms, relying instead on broad reach rather than customized messaging. This leads to ineffective advertising expenditure and restricted real-time optimization. As brands increasingly pivot towards personalized, data-driven advertising, this limitation is progressively hindering traditional ad agencies' capacity to compete in contemporary media environments.

Key Trends for Traditional Advertising Agency Service Market

Convergence of Offline and Online Campaigns: Agencies are progressively merging traditional media with digital strategies to boost reach and effectiveness. Television and radio advertisements now incorporate QR codes, hashtags, or website links, directing audiences to digital platforms. This hybrid strategy enhances engagement, improves tracking, and aligns traditional efforts with the evolving expectations of multi-channel marketing.

Emphasize Experiential and Emotional Branding: Traditional agencies are prioritizing storytelling and emotional branding to strengthen consumer relationships. Television and print advertisements concentrate on narratives that culturally and socially resonate. Emotional appeal, nostalgia, and local values contribute to the continued relevance of traditional formats, especially in emerging markets where media consumption habits still lean towards offline engagement.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Traditional Advertising Agency Service Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the traditional advertising agency service market. As businesses faced economic uncertainty and reduced consumer spending, many cut back on advertising budgets, particularly in traditional media like television, radio, print, and outdoor ad...

The Digital Advertising Agencies industry in the US has been driven by the shift from traditional print advertising to digital advertisements. In particular, strong demand for digital advertising from the retail, financial services, automotive and telecommunication sectors has sustained industry revenue. As more consumers generate website traffic through smartphones and tablets, many businesses have purchased digital advertising services to build brand awareness across multiple screens and platforms. To the industry's benefit, the rise in remote arrangements stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic caused more people to surf the internet while at home and reduced exposure to other forms of advertising. This motivated many companies to change their platforms and switch to digital advertising. Consequently, industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 17.1%, including an expected 10.3% jump in 2024 to reach $52.4 billion. Many businesses sought advertising agencies to spread ads in digital formats, namely online, for streamed video content. Additionally, some industry clients have moved away from business models that require research and tangible results before the launch of an advertisement in favor of a testing environment that has evaluated the commercial viability of new ideas. For example, clients have obtained digital advertising services that measure online traffic demographics related to their social media websites before launching a product, greatly benefiting the industry. Still, the sharp rise in demand has eclipsed strong price-based competition, driving industry profitability upwards.Digital advertising agencies that can develop innovative tools, such as data mining, with applications for analyzing customer purchasing behavior will experience strong demand moving forward. As online media streaming services and social media continue to generate substantial internet traffic, many businesses will strengthen their investments in digital advertising. And as more product manufacturers sell their products directly online, retailers will fuel demand for activities like search engine visibility services to help them compete. As a result, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 10.6% to $86.6 billion by the end of 2029.

Over the five years through 2025-26, advertising agency revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to £45.4 billion. Advertising agencies have benefitted from expanding advertising budgets across a variety of media. With many consumers returning to cinema, and streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video offering lower-cost plans incorporating ads, agencies are generating more revenue from cinema and video-on-demand TV advertising strategies. Economic uncertainty has accelerated demand for online advertising, viewed as a short-term boost to brand visibility and customer engagement at a lower cost than TV and cinema advertising. In spite of wavering business and consumer confidence led by tax concerns and US tariff instability, UK advertising agencies' revenue leapt by 3.8% in 2025-26. This demonstrates the growing resilience of the demand for agency services against macroeconomic issues, as businesses are reluctant to slash advertising budgets for fear of losing market share. Online and digital advertising services provided by agencies are transforming, as many businesses look to integrate AI and technological enhancements into their strategy. This has fuelled consolidation activity for the key players within the industry, who are looking to acquire tech and data companies to accelerate service innovation and customer engagement. While driving operating costs in the short run, successful consolidation will improve efficiency and service development in the advertising agency industry over time, accelerating profitability. Revenue is forecast to inch upwards at a compound annual rate of 2.1% over the five years through 2030-31 to reach £50.5 billion. The high-profile merger between Omnicom Group Inc. and Interpublic Group of Companies (IPG) set to take place in late 2025 threatens to restrict competition within the advertising agency industry. While consolidation activity and AI innovation of WPP plc and Publicis Groupe limit the potential of the mergers’ oligopoly power, smaller agencies with lower consolidation capacity are most likely to suffer as a result. The accessibility of AI tools continues to push advertising agencies to restrategise, while clients threaten to substitute agency services by developing in-house agencies using these tools.
Regulatory changes are also set to transform the advertising environment. New High-Fat, Sugar, or Salt (HFSS) restrictions on the advertising of these products may greatly restrict agencies' revenue contribution from the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment. On a wider scale, new regulations stipulated by the Data (Use and Access) Bill in June 2025 will restrict the ability of UK advertising agencies to use and collect customer data to optimise engagement, threatening the success of advertisements and therefore the revenue of agencies in the coming years.

During a global 2022 survey, approximately 85 percent of responding advertising agencies' corporate clients at least somewhat agreed that they were happy to pay a premium to ensure talented individuals work on their accounts. Around 71 percent of the respondents agreed they would pay extra for suppliers who could evidence a genuine approach to sustainability. In comparison, less than two-thirds (64 percent) of the surveyed companies reported agreeing to pay a premium for more diverse agencies.

The market for advertising services has changed massively over the past decade, with online and digital advertising services reaching customers across the web, replacing traditional advertising streams like TV, radio and newspapers. The UK remains Europe's largest digital ad market and is a hotspot for online advertising growth. Major sporting events have aided revenue generated from TV advertising. However, the economic slump caused by the cost-of-living crisis forced businesses to become more cautious when considering marketing budgets, weighing on demand. Over the five years through 2025, advertising services revenue is expected to rise at a compound annual rate of 1.5% to €220 billion. COVID-19 at the beginning of the previous five-year period caused business and consumer confidence to plunge, slashing ad spending as companies looked to save money. Inflationary pressures, economic uncertainty and shaky business confidence eroded growth over 2022 and caused revenue in 2023 and 2024 to dip. In 2025, industry revenue is expected to inch upwards by 0.6%, as demand for digital advertising services is propping up the industry across Europe, despite in-house social media advertising activities eating into the market for advertising services. This growing external competition has also weighed on profitability. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.2% to reach €270.8 billion. Although demand for online advertising services will continue to swell, more companies will deal directly with online providers, curbing revenue. However, increased scrutiny on social media companies may alleviate external competition by banning "behavioural advertising" and selling first-person data to marketers. Mobile advertising will continue to outpace growth in online advertising as consumers increasingly rely on mobile devices to access the internet. The rapid emergence of AI technology has put the industry's future into question as big tech searches for AI operational solutions, threatening traditional advertising agencies. However, as consumers become more distrustful of AI-generated adverts, smaller companies can lean into the human-generated aspect of advertising to grow trust with audiences and clients.
