Latin America

According to specialists, mobile ad spend  in Latin America is going to grow (for MI) at around 70%-80% consistently, year over year. Also experts said “We believe that next’s year’s World Cup will be a tipping point for this process, with major brands expected to pour major ad dollar into the region.”

“Banner and search advertising are still in great demand, but there a growing shift towards a more sophisticated type of ads (rich media) which include video, audio, interstitials and so on; these are generally more common with major brand advertisers, as they require heavy production resources. Native ads are going to be in great demand as well.”, experts assured.
