Daily newspapers are losing ground when marketing managers invest in digital channels and content marketing
The Marketing Manager Barometer Q4 2013 is based on responses from 132 marketing managers and the selection includes Sweden’s 600 largest advertisers. The accumulated advertisement budget of the participating companies is equivalent to approximately one tenth of the investments in marketing communications in Sweden.
Daily newspapers are losing advertising money
During the year, newspaper advertising fell by 4%, from 16% to 12%. If the progress continues at the same rate, it would mean that newspaper advertising, as we know it today, will face some very difficult years ahead.
Our Marketing managers also predict a black future for newspapers: 40% do not think newspapers in paper will remain on for 10 years from now and the main reasons that advertisers spend less money on newspaper advertising are because they consider it to be expensive,that there is too much waste and that it is difficult to measure the effect.
