What do advertising companies do?
Advertising agencies turn a client brief into a campaign, from the first idea and artwork to production and the booking of media, while media sellers market space in print, outdoor, broadcast and online channels. The trade runs from small local agencies to international networks that handle brands in many markets, and their clients are consumer brands, retailers, industrial firms and public bodies.
Our data comes from the business registers of 197 countries, where advertising companies are classified under SIC codes 7311 (advertising agencies), 7312 (outdoor advertising services), 7313 (radio, television, and publishers' advertising representatives) and 7319 (advertising, not elsewhere classified). In NACE, the European code those registers use, 2,295,712 of them (100%) sit in classes 73.11 (advertising agencies) and 73.12 (media representation), part of division 73 (advertising and market research).
