Advertising expenditure in the UK rose by over £1.5
billion in 2000 to exceed £17 billion for the first time, according
to data released by the Advertising Association. For the first time,
advertising expenditure on the Internet has been included in the
figures. In 2000, Internet Advertising reached £155 million - a
significant increase but still dwarfed by the amounts spent on more
traditional advertising media such as newspapers, television
and radio.
