During the first six months of 2019, advertisers spent $57.9 billion on U.S. digital advertising, according to the latest report prepared by PwC for the Interactive Advertising Bureau (an online advertising trade group).
That’s a 17% increase compared to the same period in 2018, and the most spending IAB has ever seen in the first half of the year.
