December well below previous year

The “traditional” advertising market closed out the year with gross advertising pressure of CHF 355 million in December, putting it 5.8% down on the previous year’s figure. This was a striking drop of 14% compared to the month prior.
All told, annual advertising pressure YTD is sitting at CHF 3,995.3 million gross, just 0.9% below the previous year’s level.
None of the traditional media groups posted growth compared to the previous year. The sharpest decline was in cinema (-10.3%)*, followed by TV (-6.7%) and print (-5.5%). The media groups radio (-5.2%) and out-of-home* (-4.4%) also experienced downward momentum.
* There are still deliveries outstanding in the areas of out-of-home and cinema for the fourth quarter, although this will have little impact on the overall trend.
Results for digital media were mixed. While YouTube increased compared to the previous year, search and display declined.
