Local Ad Revenue in the U.S. to Reach $151.2 Billion in 2018 Predicts BIA/Kelsey
“Mobile moves into third place with $19 billion, representing 12.6% of local advertising spend in 2018. This category will grow to 19.2% by 2022. Adoption of mobile local advertising tactics (e.g., geo-fencing, click-to-call and click-to-map) continues to grow among national advertisers that tend to gravitate toward effective, increasingly available and currently undervalued mobile local ad inventory.”
