New Research from Material and NewtonX Reveals Shifts in Digital Ad Spending and Social Media Strategies


A new research report conducted by Material and NewtonX reveals data and insights into the future of advertising, spotlighting trends in targeting, technology, social media and the impact of AI on marketing. The report, The Digital Lead: 2024 Advertising Insights & Tech Trends, provides insights into where brands will be spending in 2024, based on a national survey of agency and advertising professionals.

AI: the future of advertising

With its potential to revolutionize business operations and optimize campaigns, no topic commands more interest among modern advertising professionals than AI. 59% of respondents (unaided) cite AI as the top subject on their minds, and it is viewed more favorably than not, emphasizing its potential to transform industry practices in the short and long term. However, concerns persist, with many unknowns about how AI will be applied, which social media platforms are using it most effectively and whether it will result in more accurate targeting or reduced costs.

More spending in 2024

After several lean post-pandemic years, most advertising and agency executives report budget increases for 2024. Digital advertising is expected to constitute around two thirds of total ad spend among advertisers. Social media is the most desired allocation of spend for brand-focused advertising, with search engine marketing and social media tied with the lead for performance advertising.

Cookie deprecation only draws moderate concern

With the end of third-party cookies looming, advertisers believe they are more prepared than previously anticipated. Many are already shifting to embrace first-party customer data strategies; other emerging approaches include contextual and cohort-based targeting, machine-learning systems and CPC/CPA models.

Key findings

"It has never been more important for advertising professionals to be dialed in to the shifts and innovations happening across the business landscape, to enable future-forward strategies," said Jeremy Sack, president, Material. "Our goal with this report is to provide some key answers and provoke more questions and learning."

"It's no surprise AI has emerged as the key theme on advertisers' minds in this study," said Jackie Cutrone, CMO of NewtonX. "We've harnessed the power of AI to gather and analyze this data, and along with our partners at Material, we're committed to leveraging AI technology to provide business insights that help advertisers and brands navigate the challenges of 2024 and beyond."
