3. Companies are spending up to 12% to 13% on digital
[advertising]. We know we spend up to 20% of our
time online, so in theory spending should be up at
20%. It’s just natural conservatism, resistance to
change and inability to adapt to change. I believe
when digital budgets get to 20%, which will be in four
or five years, we will be spending 30% of our time
online.
-- Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP Group
