- More than 70% of marketers surveyed believe effectiveness of social media, online video and mobile marketing will increase.
- Spending on digital and online marketing is expected to grow from 12% in 2009 to 21% in 2014, even though advertising budgets are unlikely to grow.
- Social media’s portion of those dollars is $716 million this year, but is expected to grow to $3 billion within five years.

AirVenture Wraps Up
Posted by: | CommentsAugust 2, 2009 – Oshkosh, Wisconsin – Time flies when you’re having fun with flying. At EAA AirVenture, it seems like time flies at Mach 2.
AirVenture 2009 brought it on, from some of the world’s tiniest flying machines, weighing less than 300 pounds, to the world’s largest airliner at 1.2 million pounds takeoff weight.
The fly-in attracted something of everything in the way of aeronautical conveyances, from the very old to the very new.
From the low-and-slow set to a machine designed for high-altitude space-vehicle launches, AirVenture had the spectrum covered from the ground up.
