Advertising spending around the world is projected to increase 3.9% this year to more than $494 billion, eMarketer estimates. Total spending on directories, internet, magazines, newspaper, outdoor, radio and TV advertising will continue to grow at steady single-digit rates through 2015, according to the forecast. By that year, advertisers worldwide will be spending almost $600 billion on these media.
