Revisions to total marketing budgets were put on ice during the third quarter of 2024 according to today's Q3 2024 IPA #BellwetherReport indicating that uncertainty regarding the imminent Autumn Budget is prompting a more cautious approach from UK companies. Key findings: - Total marketing budgets fail to grow for first time in 14 quarters, but growth areas remain - Main media budgets expand at fastest rate in a year, with video campaigns at the centre - Company-specific financial prospects turn downbeat and industry-wide sentiment erodes further, but adspend forecasts lifted for 2024 and 2025 Commenting IPA Director General Paul Bainsfair said: “Negative hype surrounding the impending Budget has no doubt created choppy waters for UK companies and their marketers to navigate. “Looking to the positives, this quarter’s results reveal that companies aren’t cutting their marketing budgets; they are pressing pause until they know more about the Government’s economic plans. As clarity emerges, this may indeed prove to be a temporary dip in overall marketing spend rather than the start of a long-term downward trend. "Building on this, it is worth noting that our adspend forecast has been revised up for 2024 and 2025 because the economic data has been so strong so far this year, and that main media growth strengthened to a one-year high while sales promotion budget growth slowed – both of which are signals of bullishness. “It is also worth remembering, as the expression goes, a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. It is in the tough times that we know that our highly skilled, experienced agencies and their trusting, brave clients can reap significant market share for brands by continuing to invest in advertising. By raising their advertising voice when others go quiet - particularly in longer-term brand-building media, brands can achieve greater market stand-out, and in doing so strengthen their value and embolden their price elasticity.” For the full findings and reaction: https://lnkd.in/ehMFsV98
