that's changes dramatically in recent years. while the total spent by brands globally on advertising in 2016 was up at $493 billion, where it's being spent is shifting significantly. while traditional advertising sales were effectively flat, global digital ad sales grew by 17% to 178 billion. that number will, of course, keep growing, and by 2021, it's estimated it will account for 50% of all adverts. with me is theo izzard brown, head of strategy at the advertising firm mccann london. let's talk about this digital side of advertising, a growing side. what challenges that ring to the industry? there is a couple of ways to answer that question. the first one is the transparency in question. we are seeing lots of media agencies or

create a consistent universe. there may be a role for film and tv, but yes, the other channels contribute equally. we are seeing more spend in non—traditional areas. it is not just digital and tv, it might actually be physical installations, some of the most exciting work this year has actually been interrupting the physical space, the fearless girl statue in new york which was placed opposite the charging bull. that was really in it to have use of media. what was it advertising? it was promoting a unique fund which invests in companies that are female ceos on the board. thank you very much for your time. in hong kong, the city's stock market has been shut down and flights have been cancelled by typhoon hato, which has been battering the financial hub. rico hizon is in singapore. what impact it is typhoon having on
