Here are 4 short, but powerful things you should know:
- 2026 Ad Spending Growth Projections
The Interactive Advertising Bureau forecasts that 9.5% year-over-year growth in total U.S. ad spend vs. last year’s numbers results in $9 billion in incremental spending.
Here are the projections for ad growth:
- Media: +14.6%
- CTV: +13.8%
- Digital Video excl. CTV: +9.6%
- Podcasts: +8.6%
- Paid Search (SEM): +8.2%
- TikTok: Now Safe to Operate… and Advertise On
A group of American investors finalized a $14 billion deal to acquire the U.S. version of TikTok.
Larry Ellison’s Oracle, private equity firm Silver Lake and investment company MGX will:
- Split 45% of the ownership of the company
- Own U.S. user data
- Be responsible for moderating content
- Key Reason Meta Response Rates are Down
There are multiple reasons Meta ROI is down.
For example, Meta changes itself, increased competition ad costs and shifting audiences.
But one reason is how marketers are creating Meta ads.
Many ads are recognizable as an ad immediately – guaranteeing a depression in response.
The moment a post looks promotional it causes advertising saturation, low CTR and ad fatigue.
Polished product shots and aggressive sales copy accelerate this disengagement because they signal interruption, not value.
Meta’s algorithm reads that behavior clearly. Low engagement pushes CPM higher and limits delivery, creating a compounding performance problem.
- Meta Advertising Grows
Despite some anti-marketing rules and declining response, Meta continues to see ad sales growth. And, of course, ad cost increases.
- $58.1 Billion – Advertising revenue generated by Meta in Q4 2025
- $10 Billion – Combined revenue run rate achieved by Meta’s AI video generator tools in Q4 2025
- 6% – Lift in average price per ad on Meta in Q4 2025
