    Partially right.

    PREDICTION BY

    Brian Wieser
    the US ad industry will grow by roughly 5% (minus political spending) and 9% with political spend

    FOLLOW-UP

    Wieser later raised the non-political forecast to 5.6% and then 6.3%, and eventually to 7.2% for 2024, so the initial roughly 5% call proved conservative relative to his own later revisions.

    Too early to tell.

    PREDICTION BY

    Brian Wieser
    If added in, [political ad spending] would boost the 2024 U.S. ad economy up in the double digits -- 10.5% -- if included.

    FOLLOW-UP

    The provided results do not include a final audited total for 2024, so I cannot verify the realized outcome from your sources alone.
