![US Ad Spending Forecast By Medium, 2014 vs 2015 [CHART]](https://www.marketingcharts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/MAGNAGLOBAL-US-Ad-Spend-Growth-in-2015-Aug2014.png "Chart - US Ad Spending Forecast By Medium")
US ad revenues are expected to increase by 3.5% next year, with the 4.9% normalized growth rate excluding the effects of Political & Olympic (P&O) spending being the fastest rate of growth since 2005. That would bring core media advertising revenues to $172 billion, a new peak. Digital media ad sales are predicted to grow by 15.7%, fueled by social media (+32%) and video (+31%). Meanwhile, this year’s ad revenue growth forecast has been downgraded from the prior forecast of 6% to 5.1%, due in part to macro-economic conditions and to lower incremental P&O spending estimates.
