Introduction

Hey there! Ever wondered how much companies are paying for their digital ads? As a marketing director, knowing about CPM (Cost Per Mille) can really help you plan your ad budget. Let’s check out the latest trends and see which industries are spending the most.

Why CPM Matters

CPM tells you the cost for every thousand times your ad is shown. It helps you understand how much you’re spending to reach your audience and if it’s worth it.
