Advertising Agencies federal obligations in FY2025

USAspending.gov records $2,060,643,394.51 in Advertising Agencies (NAICS 541810) obligations for fiscal year 2025. About twenty-nine percent of this advertising extract sits on FY2025. A sibling FY2024 541810 join in the same harvest is a different year cell, not a running campaign log. That pair is Advertising Agencies (NAICS 541810) and federal fiscal year 2025 — not every federal dollar in FY2025, not Advertising Agencies's $7,186,060,723.12 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 28.7% of this industry's published obligation total. 1,166 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

The industry-year cell: advertising agencies in FY2025

NAICS 541810 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $2,060,643,394.51 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Advertising Agencies's nationwide all-year total of $7,186,060,723.12, not every federal dollar coded to FY2025, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split creative from media placement, or contract from assistance. 1,166 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a campaign catalog, a named-agency roster, or a media-buy ledger.

Open /industries/541810/ (NAICS 541810) for the industry table without this FY2025 filter, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $2,060,643,394.51. Cite advertising agencies with FY2025 here. The FY2024 sibling keeps its own dollars.

This page reports advertising agencies activity USAspending tagged to FY2025. The headline $2,060,643,394.51 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $7,186,060,723.12; the 28.7% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Matching NAICS 541810 across two years does not merge those years into one media ledger.

Advertising Agencies is the industry key, not a program name

USAspending labels NAICS 541810 as Advertising Agencies. That code produced $2,060,643,394.51 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The industry-wide 541810 hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require Advertising Agencies. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split creative from media placement, or contract from assistance. FY2025 can remain open. Creative-versus-media-placement splits are unpublished.

Keeping 1,166 off the yearlyTrend clock

1,166 is the Advertising Agencies award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2025 instruments. Dividing $2,060,643,394.51 by 1,166 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. One thousand one hundred sixty-six industry-extract awards belong to 541810 across years, not to FY2025 as an agency census. FY2025 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.

Deobligations can still move the cell

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $2,060,643,394.51 is that kind of sum for Advertising Agencies in FY2025. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $2,060,643,394.51 as given.

Treat 1,166 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2025 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Matching NAICS 541810 across two years does not merge those years into one media ledger.

All spending ties is an index, not an addend

Cite USAspending.gov: Advertising Agencies (NAICS 541810) obligated $2,060,643,394.51 in FY2025. Name Advertising Agencies and FY2025 together. Keep the obligation word. If NAICS 541810 or FY2025 federal spending has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a campaign catalog, a named-agency roster, or a media-buy ledger. 28.7% of $7,186,060,723.12 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. All industries lists other industries; All spending ties indexes other pairs.

Where Advertising Agencies in FY2025 stops

One thousand one hundred sixty-six industry-extract awards belong to 541810 across years, not to FY2025 as an agency census. Cite advertising agencies with FY2025 here. The FY2024 sibling keeps its own dollars. A reader who quotes 1,166 as unique companies in FY2025 has left the packet. A reader who treats 28.7% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer NAICS 541810 and FY2025 federal spending if the live tables moved. Matching NAICS 541810 across two years does not merge those years into one media ledger.

Questions

How much Advertising Agencies spending is obligated in FY2025?
USAspending.gov lists $2,060,643,394.51 in Advertising Agencies (NAICS 541810) obligations for FY2025. That yearlyTrend amount is 28.7% of the industry's $7,186,060,723.12 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2025. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Is $2,060,643,394.51 the entire Advertising Agencies USAspending total?
No. NAICS 541810's extract-wide total is $7,186,060,723.12. FY2025 is 28.7% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add NAICS 541810 into this join. 1,166 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
Is $2,060,643,394.51 cash already paid in FY2025?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $2,060,643,394.51 as checks already cleared in FY2025 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
Are FY2025 figures final?
Not necessarily. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. $2,060,643,394.51 is the published yearlyTrend amount for NAICS 541810 in FY2025 on this snapshot. Prefer NAICS 541810 and FY2025 federal spending if live tables moved. Outlays are unpublished.
