  • Following a record-breaking season for NFL viewership, advertisers are adapting their media approaches to ensure they capture the attention of a football audience that’s broader than ever before — due, at least in part, to the impact of Taylor Swift.
  • The long-awaited decision from Amazon to place more than $2 billion in media spend finally was announced, with a bit of a surprise: both Omnicom and WPP shared the win, rather than one winner-take-all.
  • This Digiday+ Media Briefing covers how the digital media industry spent summer 2024.
  • Last year just 20% of companies said they expected to expand their occupied space in the next three years, compared to nearly 40% this year.
