NewsBrands Ireland collects advertising spend figures for advertising agencies directly from our newspaper group members. We then verify all spend with the relevant advertising agencies before publishing verified totals for the top 20 agencies.

All totals include national print advertising revenue plus digital advertising revenue on all platforms owned more than 50 per cent by one of our member publishers.
