Digital spending currently accounts for roughly one-quarter of enterprise marketing budgets, finds a new study from Econsultancy and Teradata, but that figure is expected to increase to about 40% by 2019. The shift taking place in the near-term isn’t the result of a decline in traditional media budgets, though, as more enterprises plan to increase than decrease their traditional budgets over the next year.
