So, maybe you aren’t a national advertiser. What about the top local advertisers? Local usually means that the advertiser targets certain, local, markets for their ads. For example, they might choose markets like Los Angeles and Phoenix to focus on. How much are the top local advertisers spending?
- COMCAST CORP, $33.5 Million
- GENERAL MOTORS CO, $32.4 Million
- TOYOTA MOTOR CORP, $30.3 Million
- NEW YORK STATE, $22.2 Million
- CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS INC, $19.0 Million
- HYUNDAI MOTOR CO, $16.7 Million
- BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC, $15.0 Million
- NISSAN MOTOR CO LTD, $13.3 Million
- ROARK CAPITAL GROUP INC, $12.2 Million
- MORGAN & MORGAN, $11.7 Million
Remember, these are monthly figures. Usually, if you see a company listed in both the national and local categories it means that they have budgets for both national and local advertising. So, how does your company compare?
