At the moment, the report observed that the US advertising industry is undergoing rapid digital transformations, which is why digital advertising agencies are in high demand. “Revenues have more than doubled since 2016, highlighting the industry’s rapid push toward digitalisation,” it said. In 2021, US advertising agencies generated more than 60 percent of their revenues via digital work, and data also shows that digital’s share in agency revenues has more than doubled in the last decade, it further stated. The company owes this increase to the changing consumer behaviour where people are more likely to browse, shop and look for entertainment online.
