Highlights in July
by Alicia Görlitz
At a gross value of CHF 398.5 million, the advertising month of July has closed out 9.6 percent above the previous year’s figure –
the lowest percentage increase of the year thus far. This is hardly surprising, as the Olympic Games gave the advertising market an additional boost during this period last year.
As in previous years, the summer slump has also impacted advertising pressure, which dropped by 17.4% compared to the previous month, June.
The tobacco (-80.9%), telecommunications (-54.9%) and automotive (-38.0%) sectors similarly displayed less advertising pressure than in June. Energy was the only sector to record a major uptick, at 9.2%.
From January to July 2022, total gross advertising pressure amounted to CHF 3,550 million, up 36.9% on the same period in the previous year.

Leisure, gastronomy and tourism took third place, with the sector’s advertising pressure increasing by 11.9% in July.
These three sectors kept their advertising pressure at high levels, putting them even further ahead of the rest of the advertising market.
