The increasing number of people engaged in the social networks and more time being spent online by Internet users are two main factors being used to convince marketers to spend more on online advertising, according to marketing agencies.

He named three factors responsible for this: the increasing number of social-media users; the increasing total number of Internet users; and the Fifa World Cup.
