Methodology
Country media agency billings are calculated based on clients whose spend is ≥$0.1M (Top 500 Czech Republic advertisers). Industry Market Shares are calculated based on the total market studied ($1.3B in 2021).
Measured offline net estimated spend figures are sourced from Nielsen annualized data for the 12-month period Jan 2021-December 2021. CZK/USD: x0.0461 (average rate Year 2021).
To calculate digital media spend (handled by media agencies), COMvergence applies average digital shares per category. These percentages are revised each year and adjusted according to the agency claims (as long as they are supported by a client statement or a formal letter from the agency CFO certifying the accuracy of the data/information submitted to COMvergence).
Within digital media, the following channels are included: display (incl. programmatic), online video, search and social.
All client lists have been reviewed and validated by agencies – who also shared detailed information relative to the digital media assignments they handle as well as how much these assignments represent out of their client’s total media mix.
