Theslogan Magazine remarked how advertising spending has recovered in the United Kingdom, as the economic and financial crisis comes to an end. However, only Internet and movie theathers registered more spending in 2009 than in 2008.

“In fact, online advertising increased exactly as the same amount lost by newspapers (4.2%). Coincidence? Probably not; in times of crisis, brands turned to a medium that provides greater guarantees and more measuring”.
