Borrell Report: 2020 Outlook - Digital Services Continue to Dominate Marketing Budgets
Businesses are spending phenomenal amounts of money trying to win exposure via digital media. In 2020, spending on digital marketing services will surpass $800 billion -- more than twice what U.S. businesses invest in advertising. For a small business costs can add up to six figures without them even knowing it.
This 30-page report includes more than two dozen charts and tables detailing expenditures and forecasts for 21 different types of digital services, including SEO, reputation management, streaming video production, website design, hosting, and more. The analysis assigns current growth stages for each, showing which categories are gaining popularity and which have become commoditized. One chapter is dedicated to the findings from a Borrell survey that engaged 142 local businesses to calculate their total costs for each of the six most common digital services.
