Agency Spotter has published its 2018 ‘Marketing Trends Report’. The new report traces the global demand in the marketing services industry covering more than 40 service areas from advertising to branding, product design to digital strategy. You can download a copy of the report here.

By identifying what services professionals are searching for and looking at across four year macro trends, seasonal trends, and year over year trends, the marketing and advertising industry can be more responsive about its offering and positioning. At the same time, decision makers looking to search for marketing services may find these trends reassuring or may use them to see how their own company’s marketing services stack up.
