		<description>David - many thanks. One thing that did occur to me after I&#039;d written this was that social media doesn&#039;t seem to figure anywhere - unless it comes under &quot;other&quot; digital spend. Even if it constituted all 8pc of &quot;other&quot; digital spend, that it is still a small amount compared to everything else. Will be interesting to see whether social media figures on the scale next time round.</description>

		<description>Andrew - great analysis. Thanks for pointing out my quote. It does seem like (at least in this case) that IDC and I are saying similar things.
