but advertising also costs money. so how do firms make sure they're spending it in the right place and attracting the right customers? that's top of the agenda for the industry's big annual get—together in london this morning. so how much is spent on advertising? around the world, across all forms of media it's thought to be at nearly half a trillion dollars a year. but where companies chose to spend their ad dollars is changing. about 38% went on traditional tv adverts last year with 36% on digital platforms. this year online ads are set to become the biggest slice of the advertising pie. but the platforms which host the ads like google and facebook are grappling with a big rise in advertising fraud. this comes in the form of bots and software that tricks websites into thinking more people have actually seen an ad which means advertisers are overcharged for it. and this problem is growing, and some of the leading players in the industry are now warning that

20 percent of all digital ad spending is in danger of being wasted on fraud. with me is our technology correspondent rory cellanjones. rory, this is something you've talked to some of the top bosses about, it's a big dealfor the advertising industry isn't it? it's advertising industry isn't it? it's a crisis really. i think it's a subject that's dominating chat at all sorts of advertising meetings and conferences. don't forget, when online advertising came along, it had huge promise, you would be able to target people precisely, you would know more about who was seeing yourad, would know more about who was seeing your ad, then you would be able to measure the performance effectively. both those things have been brought massively into question by the sheer extent of ad fraud. a extent ofadrfraudrarsurvey ,, ~ ~ fl — out of the $80 predicted that out of the $80 billion spent worldwide on digital

advertising, over $16 billion would be completely wasted and go in fraud. they are getting increasingly desperate about how to tackle it and they are getting very angry with the likes of google and facebook. 50 likes of goegleandeaceheekq 50 e what is likely to happen? i understand you can get software that you can bolt on to your ads to reduce this somehow if you are a customer wanting to advertise on ,,;-.,'t fsz-j, brig-{ail—z—ea,

we took down 1.7 billion ads that violated their policy last year more than double the previous year. what should begans do who wished to advertise online effectively and not wa nt to advertise online effectively and not want to pay out for ads not being looked at by real people? it's basically a technological war, a bit like the arms race going on over cyber security. they need the best tools available. they are uniting now the advertising industry in a you have not seen them do way you have not seen them do before, saying, i heard a threat recently from the big agencies to google and facebook, listen if you don't sort this because you dominate online advertising, we are going to online advertising, weategolngte a boycott. that seems unlikely have a boycott. that seems unlikely because why would you move away from the biggest platform, but they're making that threat. interesting. thank you, rory. more on that later in the programme. in other news. uber presidentjeffjones is leaving the company after less than six months.

largest gathering of advertising industry leaders. the uk's advertising market is worth around £200 billion. with targeted advertising coming underfire for adverts placed next to extremist material, what are the other challenges facing british advertisers? edwina dunn is the chief executive of starcount and she was co—founder of dunnhumby, the firm behind the tesco clubcard. a very good morning to you. let's talk about what you do with the data because clearly you are an expert in all of this and know what consumers doing, how and where they shop, are doing, how and where they shop, and that is the joy of digital advertising and marketing, you have more information about customers than ever before? yes, that is right. actually, when we started work with tesco on clu bca rd we started work with tesco on clubcard 20 we started work with tesco on clubca rd 20 years we started work with tesco on clubcard 20 years ago, people said that targeted marketing would never be relevant because tesco is a mass market brand. and so no—one really could conceive the idea of sending

n ”334 3:3: messages could conceive the idea of sending n ”333: 3:3: messages to could conceive the idea of sending messages to millions differentiated messages to millions of but it worked and it of consumers. but it worked and it propelled them from, you know, place in the market to almost third place in the market to market leader by a massive percentage. i feel where we are in the market right now is in a similar position. people are saying, you know, digital and being able to reach millions of people means i know, digital and being able to reach millions of people means that there's no role for selective or targeted advertising. people get everything. i think it's the time that it's going to g everything. i think it's the time that it's going to q now everything. i think it's the time that it's going to % now and that it's going to shift now and there are going to be some companies out there that are really clever in -w out there that are really clever in 33 they out there that are really clever in :’ they actually . out there that are really clever in j they actually selectively % out there that are really clever in j they actually selectively offer how they actually selectively offer up how they actually selectively offer up content and messages. and that, to some of us listening, and that teseme of us listening. = bea and that teseme of us listening. = be a worry because we are might be a worry because we are finding out that you are becoming much more clever at targeting us and using the data that you do receive abbot us using the data that you do receive abogt us and using the data that you do receive

about us and i are using the data that you do receive abogt us and i are concerned using the data that you do receive about us and i are concerned about about us and we are concerned about where that is going and how it's used? i think the fact is, consumers have gotte n used? i think the fact is, consumers have gotten used to free stuff. people, mainly getting some idea of what they're interested in. that combination of wanting free stuff and knowing them, that puts huge demands on companies to actually be smarter with data. flavoursome all of the technology has been rear view mirror, analysing people did. the future will what people did. the future will be... sorry to interrupt. you're with now, you might not pay much attention to them, but white — fridges, washing machines and dishwashers

are all household essentials. operates in more than 100 countries including the united states. but now they want to expand into china. worth $4.89 trillion, overtaking the us. it's now valued at $4.82 trillion, but high—end home appliances have been a weak spot. sales have fallen in the past few years and there are worries that china's property market is cooling. arcelik is europe's third largest home appliances company. as the silk road is revived with the new train link between britain and east china, does that really open the door to new trade links? hakan bulgurlu is chief welcome to business live.

now, you are a turkish company. you been around for many years and have been around for many years and you've been with the company for sometime yourself. and you're very established in many countries around the world including china, but for your company, how big an opportunity did does this new link provide for you? i personally firmly believe that the economic growth engine of the world is shifting to the east together with the enlarging middle classes i think south east asia and the indian subcontinent will take a larger share of global gdp. arcelik we're trying to position beko our brands. turkey has a long—standing tradition of trading on the silk road. today with china's investment in one belt, one road policy and the giant infrastructure projects that are going in both in south east asia and the indian subcontinent i

believe there will be lots of opportunities. we have established a manufacturing base in thailand with sales subsidiaries in many of those countries. , sales subsidiaries in many of those gauntriaa. but = sales subsidiaries in many of those gauntriae but also acquired a countries, but also acquired a company in pakistan which has a very firm with the company in pakistan which has a very firm - with the 200 million firm future with the 200 million trong population. how difficult is to penetrate those markets? we talked about china. i imagine there is so much competition in the asian economies where they're making. i 27777»i11'—3:l':3 3 . mean some companies have been making white goods for again rations and they are very well established? competition is very severe. is the key differentiating is the key factorment we invest in innovation. we have a research facility in cambridge which we're proud of. the only way is to differentiate, water efficiency, preventing food waste. in these developing economies because are important aspects of the

product. we believe we're better than the competition and as arcelik used to doing business in we're used to doing business in difficult to do business places. we it easier than the comp t. talk find it easier than the comp t. talk me through the trade - we are me through the trade flows. we are used to seeing products and services come from west to east, but that's changing? we have 18 factories in seven kuvenlts countries. we believe that the manufacturing footprint is going to be important going forward. so i south east asia, thailand and so for south east asia, thailand and for the indian subcontinent, we are in pakistan, but other markets will be important too. white goods are large so you need to manufacture close to the market itself. consumer insight is critical. each market is 1:3: different to insight is critical. each market is j: if: different to the insight is critical. each market is 2 different to the other %_ insight is critical. each market is ”5: different to the other and % insight is critical. each market is g different to the other and you very different to the other and you have to integrate the consumer insights into the product themselves

so insights into the product themselves so you have to be local. you're local and you're global and you're diversified globally which i imagine is very for you as a is very important for you as a company in terms of weathering the economic storms that are taking place in various economies, when it comes to the politics with the president in turkey, how is that affecting how you go about your business and what's going on in turkey with the immigration crisis. turkey with manama] are based, founded and you have you are based, founded and you have thousands of employees?” you are based, founded and you have thousands of employees? i believe tu rkey‘s thousands of employees? i believe turkey's future is very sound. the economic growth, the demographics are very positive. there are challenges. chiefly immigration as you mentioned. but also, the politics with europe may cause temporary but the temporary fluctuations, but the partnership is so - rooted, partnership is so deeply rooted, europe and turkey both need each other, not only for the market, but for a manufacturing base. let's talk f’ . f" inflation because it is one of

about inflation because it is one of the things we're told will go up. we have seen the fall in the value of the pound. that means stuff we import from overseas, what effect import ifo’m’oijefseasl'fin’a’iifieci3 . . it on you import ifo’m’oijefseasl'fin’a’iifieci3 . . it- on you because we're does it have on you because we're told white goods is something we will see a rise in? 2.5 million appliances are sold in the uk. brexit caused some fluctuation with currency which will have inflationary pressure. we expect that toe temper inflationary pressure. we expect that toe - temper demand for that toe maybe temper demand for sometime going forward. however, the 333.17 7 sometime going forward. however, the .7777’ are’ sometime going forward. however, the ‘fl’n " are, if sometime going forward. however, the ‘f"? are, if you sometime going forward. however, the ‘fl’n " are, if you at uk's prospects are, if you look at the g7 economies growth, on going growth targets. the uk is projected to grow faster than the g7 economies so we to grow faster than the g7 economies so we aim to double our business here over the next five years. we're market leaders l terms of units and market leaders in terms of units and value, but we believe the economy will do .fine. value, but we believe the economy will do - fine. come back in five will do just fine. come back in five yea rs will do just fine. come back in five years when you've doubled the business and we'll speak to you again. hopefully. thank you@ coming in. the ceo of
