This is the perfect season to develop strategies for 2023 with current clients and new prospects! In 2022, digital ad spend grew by 17.8%, and across industries, the total could reach $248.81 billion.

The biggest growth came from retail categories, the fastest growth came from travel, and the largest spending was seen in the retail and financial industries.

Also of note:
