6,000-10,000
ads the average person is exposed to per day
Industry estimates put daily ad exposure for an average connected adult at between 6,000 and 10,000 ads, counting digital, broadcast, packaging and out-of-home placements.
Context
Most of the increase over the last decade has come from digital channels: programmatic display, social feeds and short-form video. Blocking the digital subset removes the majority of new exposure.
Key takeaways
- Ad exposure has roughly tripled over twenty years.
- Digital is where the growth (and most of the blocking opportunity) lives.
