Article Abstract:
Six measures of concentration and the advertising expenditures of the 100 leading advertisers in the US reported by Advertising Age were used in a study of advertising concentration between 1970 and 1988. The analysis showed that advertising concentration levels varied during the 1970s and steadily increased since the early 1980s. Advertising concentration between all of the two-year periods covered by the study did not change significantly. In addition, the industry type and the nationality of the advertisers were not significant factors in the level of advertising concentration.
