Services-Advertising Agencies

The Services–Advertising Agencies industry, classified under SIC 7311, encompasses firms that plan, create, and place advertising across digital, social, broadcast, print, and out‑of‑home channels, as well as provide brand strategy, media buying, analytics, and creative production. Typical customers range from global consumer brands and B2B enterprises to fast‑growing e‑commerce and direct‑to‑consumer companies seeking measurable returns on marketing spend. Key risks include client concentration, cyclicality tied to broader economic conditions, rapid shifts in digital platforms, and tightening privacy and data‑protection rules such as evolving state and international regulations that impact targeting and measurement. In 2024–2025, agencies are reshaping their models around AI-driven creative, programmatic media, retail media networks, connected TV, and influencer/creator partnerships, while expanding consulting-style services in customer experience and first‑party data strategy.
