This, then, requires a good strategy. Next, find out more about investing in communication and how to get this fundamental aspect right for business success. Advertising investment in Brazil grows again Data from “ Inside Advertising 2022 ”, produced by Kantar IBOPE Media, reveals that advertising investment in the country grew 29% from 2020 to 2021.

In the first quarter of this year alone, R$17.6 billion were invested in communication, a result 22% higher than in the first three months of the previous year. What has stood out in this scenario is the consumer services sector. If in 2020 it was behind commerce in terms of share of the advertising pie, in 2021 it became responsible for a fifth of investment in advertising in Brazil, being the leader in this regard. Then, in the first quarter of 2022, the performance was even greater: consumer services invested 23% of the Brazilian total. Together, consumer services, commerce and the financial and insurance market account for around half of advertising investment in the country.

Cenp -Meios provides approximate data on how this investment in video may be distributed, taking into account the first half of 2022.
