Amasa forum event is back at the normal venue: Advertising spend is up - has the industry turned the corner?

After a depressed economy and subsequent drop in advertising spend in 2020, the recent advertising spend report by Nielsen's WizzAd paints a brighter picture.
Amasa forum event is back at the normal venue: Advertising spend is up - has the industry turned the corner?

According to WizzAd, the month of August marked the 11th consecutive month of increased advertising spend compared to the previous year. Year-to-date advertising spend for August 2021 is up 35% compared to 2020.

On the economic front, the latest Statistics South Africa GDP figures revealed a fourth consecutive quarter of economic growth for the South African economy, expanding by 1.2% in the second quarter of 2021. This followed a revised 1.0% rise in the first quarter of the year.
What is driving the increased advertising spend and which media platforms or key advertising categories are behind this trend? Does this trend mean the industry has finally managed to navigate through the pandemic challenges and out of the hoods?
