It projects that media suppliers around the world will grow their advertising revenues by 5.4% next year to a total $412 billion. Video retains its dominance around the world, with more than 40% of advertising — a total of $169 billion — relying on TV in 2011.

MagnaGlobal, a division of IPG’s Mediabrands, has released an updated forecast for advertising around the world alongside a comprehensive model including data for more than 60 countries covering years between 1999 and 2016.

It forecasts that media suppliers around the world will grow their advertising revenues during 2011 by 5.4% to a total $412 billion on a constant currency basis, above its previously published expectations of +4.2%. This follows 2010’s recovery-year growth rate of +6.9%, also above prior expectations for growth of +5.6%.

Story continues after the ad

It says "The ad-supported media economy is firmly on a path towards sustained gains in most countries around the world, with Argentina, India and China leading the way, more than offsetting declines from the struggling advertising sectors in Greece, Croatia and Ireland."

Long term growth rates are also upgraded, reflecting stronger expectations of global economic recovery. Its compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the global industry is +6.3% through 2016, MagnaGlobal says, with most years upgraded by more than a half percent compared to its forecast published in June of 2010.

Video retains its dominance around the world, with more than 40% of advertising — a total of $169 billion — relying on TV in 2011. Globally, the medium should grow by 7.5% on average through 2016.  Online advertising will grow even faster, MagnaGlobal says, overtaking newspapers as the world’s second-largest advertising medium by 2013, and will total $117 billion in 2016.

This will occur largely due to market expansion as new advertisers have become the backbone of that medium. But newspapers will continue to grow modestly — up 1.7% in constant currency terms over the next five years, it says — despite sustained declines in many markets. In many countries, newspapers represent a viable means of distributing content to emerging consumer classes and do not face meaningful cannibalization from online competition.

Magazines face worse conditions with respect to online competition (especially with news and celebrity content), the report says, and should grow by only 0.1% each year through 2016.

Radio and Out-of-Home will grow on a global basis, up by 4.1% and 8.0%, respectively, over the next five years, slightly ahead of growth trends expected for 2011.

Emerging media takes the forefront of MagnaGlobal's new forecast. It introduced global estimates of mobile, online video and digital out-of-home advertising, along with cinema as platforms which it breaks out within its totals. In 2011, it estimates that online video will capture $4.7 billion in global ad revenues, and should rise by 19.6% each year through 2016, by which point the sector will generate $11.4 billion.

Mobile advertising is smaller, at $2.7 billion, and will grow at a similar pace, according to the report. By 2016, media owners should earn $6.6 billion from mobile advertising.  Digital outdoor advertising is increasingly important, but is smaller than mobile in scale in 2011 (at $2.6 billion in ad revenues) and should grow at a slower rate in years ahead, totaling $5.2 billion by 2016.

Cinema captured $2.8 billion in 2011, and will grow at an average rate of 9.1% over the following five years.

    Fans of Sex and the City have finally gotten their wish: Their beloved sex-focused sitcom is back on the air ... sort of. The four women have become four men, of course, and the writing isn't as good. Oh, and the laugh track so annoying, it's offensive. And did I mention that the costumes would be considered fashionable if you were holding a yard sale? Men at Work on TBS is almost quaint, it's so old fashioned. If it had any meat on its bones, you'd be tempted to say it's the sadly ignoble epitome of TV's long-festering emasculated-men syndrome. But it's so much of a big, forgettable, innocuous shrug, it's not even worth any actual vitriol.

    The USA Network's motto is "Characters Welcome." Apparently they're especially welcome if they resemble Oscar Madison and Felix Unger. Already stocked with Odd Couple knockoffs in Psych and White Collar, USA adds to its inventory Common Law, another comic crime-fighting show about mismatched partners. But this latest entry exhibits very little of that kind of spark as it tries to wring laughs from the juxtaposition of counseling and police work. It looks too flat and schematically plotted to succeed as the type of lightweight summer fun we’ve come to expect from USA.

    Johnny Carson: Fantastic entertainer, miserable human being. That's the lasting message of Johnny Carson: King of Late Night, the new PBS American Masters film, a rich history of a rare product of television who dominated the small screen for decades. Unprecedented access to personal archives plus all existing episodes of The Tonight Show (1962-92), distinguishes this film by Peter Jones. Telling interviews with family and colleagues, including second wife Joanne Carson, former Tonight Show executive producer Peter Lassally and a number of biographers sharpen the picture. The clips are carefully selected to illustrate specific personality traits, the performance highlights are given context and meaning beyond funny lines and memorable moments.

    AMC's The Pitch is a sharply-made if slightly off-putting reality series that follows different advertising agencies each week as they compete for new accounts. The inspiration for the show — made clear by its own ad campaign — is to harness some of the verve generated by the network's acclaimed Mad Men. The Pitch has a way of making the ad world seem like a real downer — a repugnant exercise in egotism laced with depressing bouts of creative compromise.

    HBO's Veep stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as former Sen. Selina Meyer, who accepts the vice presidential duty and regrets it almost immediately: She has no real power and gets muscled by the Senate, Congress and the (so-far-unseen) president, who delegates all the truly crappy jobs to her. Louis-Dreyfus has found perhaps her best post-Seinfeld role and takes to it with such fervor — the constant swearing, the barely veiled desire to become president, the unhappy give-and-take with other politicians and a delightful disdain for average citizens — that you can't help but applaud what is clearly an Emmy-worthy effort. Her work alone makes Veep a gem, but there's even more to like.
