BIA/Kelsey estimates financial organizations will spend $7.5 billion on local advertising in 2015, representing 5.4 percent of the $137.9 billion total local advertising market.

Of this amount, 73.5 percent is expected to be allocated to traditional media. Digital, however, is a key area for financial, with BIA/Kelsey projecting all growth in local advertising for the financial vertical category occurring in online/digital media.
