Haven’t posted for a while but here are some interesting numbers on Malaysia’s advertising industry in 2007. According to Nielsen’s report, ad spend grew 15% to RM5.5 billion last year, with newspapers having the biggest share at 56.1%. This was followed by tv (32.9%), radio (4.4%), magazine (3.0%), outdoor (2.0%), POS (1.1%) and cinema (0.5%).
