Abstract
Roughly 11 million UK Internet users visited online social network sites
regularly in 2007. And the market is booming - 60% of respondents to an
early-2008 survey said they had created a social network profile, up from 27%
in 2007.
The UK Social Network Marketing report analyzes the burgeoning growth
of this channel, both online and on mobile phones.
Online social network ad spending has moved at a slower pace than consumer
adoption, but things are picking up. This year spending is expected to rise
77% to £115 million ($225 million).
In 2012, marketers are projected to spend £285 million ($533 million), a
148% increase over 2008.
The UK currently dominates social network spending in Western Europe, with 68%
of the market.
