— Ad spend falls: A PwC forecast says UK online ad spend’s growth will slow significantly this year, from 38 percent annually last year to 20 percent annually, all thanks to the down economy. The search segment will perform best, growing 30 percent. Property and jobs classifieds look uncertain, but cars and dating will bolster growth. Via MediaWeek. The pattern is consistent with this week’s Enders Analysis forecast.
