AD GROWTH
US industries will collectively spend upwards of $50 billion on digital advertising in 2014. It will be the fifth year in a row of torrid growth, reflecting broad economic and advertising industry trends that have driven nonstop, double-digit gains across virtually all industries.
The retail industry continues to be the single largest spender among the 10 industry groups.
