Over the past years, marketers have significantly shifted from traditional advertising to digital advertising. Traditional advertising is still an effective method of reaching a mass audience; however, it has been outperformed by digital advertising due to the cost of advertising and the lack of audience engagement. Furthermore, more brands prioritize digital advertising owing to a better return on investment, accurate targeting, and effective measurement methods.The transformation of internet infrastructure is a major driver of growth in digital advertising. Internet infrastructure has changed rapidly in the last decade. It has become faster, cheaper, and easier to access, resulting in a significant increase in internet consumption and the number of internet users.Before the pandemic, digital advertising was showing signs of stable and solid growth, while traditional advertising was slowly declining. However, the pandemic has accelerated digital adoption, which leads to exponential growth in digital advertising and a drastic decline in traditional advertising. In the following years, we expect to see strong growth in digital advertising due to changes in internet consumption behavior.
