Q1 1998 Ad Spending Climbs to $351.3 Million Increases 271 Percent Over Q1 1997

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 1998--The Internet Marketing Group (IMG) today announced the first Quarter 1998 results of its industry-leading "Advertising Revenue Reporting Program," with total first quarter spending reaching $351.3 million, an increase of 271 percent over the first quarter 1997 and the eighth consecutive quarter of positive revenue growth. According to the report, which was presented by Russell & Lawrence at the IMG's annual membership meeting in San Francisco, Internet advertising continues its billion dollar run-rate for the second quarter in a row, and continues to trend towards a traditional media model, with computer and consumer-related advertising leading the way.

"We saw the first significant signs that Internet advertising was trending towards the traditional media model with last year's fourth quarter results," said Randy Fontenot, IMG Chairman and Senior Vice President Advertising Continental Internet Group. The results for the first quarter of this year underscore the fact that the Internet is now considered an integral component of the overall media mix, and subject to the same variables as all other forms of advertising."

The categories which lead Internet Advertising spending during the first quarter were computing (27%), consumer-related (25%), telecom (14%) financial services (13%) and new media (10%). The survey also found that the overwhelming number of revenue transactions, (98%) continue to be cash-based with barter deals accounting for (2%) of total spending. Banner advertisements continue to dominate spending in the category (55%) with sponsorships (40%), interstitial (4%) and others (1%) rounding out the category.

Conducted by the Media Group of Russell & Lawrence on an ongoing basis, with results released on a quarterly basis, the "Advertising Revenue Reporting Program" was started by the IMG in 1996, and represents data from more than 200 publishers. The results reported are the most accurate measurement of online advertising revenues since the data is compiled directly from information supplied by companies selling advertising on the Internet. All-encompassing in nature, the survey includes data concerning online advertising revenues from Web sites, commercial online services, offline delivery services and email providers.
