By 2016, the only older, or
“legacy,” mass medium whose
global advertising revenue was
not totally disrupted by the
Internet was television.

percent share of worldwide ad
revenue in 2015 which
represented a 2 percent rise
between 2007 and 2015.
Here are the five biggest
obstacles the online
ad industry is facing right
now:
Rapid Growth. The digital
landscape just keeps growing.
...
Ad Blockers. Ad blockers are
costing advertisers billions of
dollars. ...
Reduced Exposure. Social
media was a gift to businesses.
...
Increasing Costs. ...
Elusive Audiences.
FaceBook and Google have
killed advertising agencies
4. Challenges
Getting the attention of the
target market amid clutter
and screen distraction
Mobile marketing tactics:
time spent with smartphone
video is reserved for
snackable content
Privacy issues for the
consumer. How is personal
data used?
Social MediaTrends:Which
platforms and content types
are gaining favor?
Most consumers find pop-
ups intrusive and say ads can
affect the site experience
Concerns with fake news
leads some advertisers to
reconsider open exchanges
