The IAB GCC will be unveiling the results of the long-awaited official 2020 Digital Adspend study for the MENA region.
Years in the making, this is the first official digital-industry approved adspend survey. Working with the region’s main digital buyers and sellers, a unique methodology was agreed and approved by IAB Europe’s Chief Economist and selected research partners MTM as best practice for the region. This included a mix of collaborative estimates, mathematical modelling and comparative benchmarks to come to an agreed industry figure. For the first time, the key industry players have agreed a Digital Adpsend Estimate.
