Mexico: Latin America’s Advertising Powerhouse

Social Media


Mexico has firmly established itself as one of the undisputed leaders in Latin America's advertising industry. With rapid growth in digital advertising, a strong presence of global accounts, and clear influence on regional trends, Mexico's media and marketing ecosystem is not only mature—it’s mission-critical for global brands.

The country accounts for approximately 18% of total ad spend across Latin America, second only to Brazil. In 2025, 79.5% of Mexico’s digital ad budget goes to programmatic strategies, reaching $4.66 billion USD. With 83.3% internet penetration and 96.6% of users accessing content via smartphones, Mexico stands as one of the region’s most connected and digitally dynamic markets (source: byyd.me).

But it’s not just about scale—it’s about strategic significance. Giants like Omnicom Media Group, Publicis Groupe, and McCann manage major global accounts from within Mexico, including Amazon, Uber, Diageo, Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Microsoft, and Banco Santander. Mexico isn’t just talking advertising—it’s executing it on a global stage.

Consumer behavior trends confirm this. While Latin America evolves, Mexican audiences lead the way: they’re skeptical of traditional influencers (preferring authentic voices), they value immersive phygital experiences, and they fluidly switch platforms based on context and need (source: merca20.com).

So, who’s leading the charge on the agency side?
