Google is offering employee buyouts in Search and other orgs
Google is starting to offer buyouts to US-based employees in its sprawling Search organization, along with other divisions like marketing, research, and core engineering, according to multiple employees familiar with the matter. The buyouts, which Google is referring to as a 'voluntary exit program,' are currently not being offered to employees in the DeepMind AI division, Google Cloud, YouTube, or Google's central ad sales organization. Employees in Google's platforms and services group, which includes Android and the Pixel line of devices, were offered buyouts earlier this year before the company enacted layoffs. It's unclear if more layoffs will follow this week's buyout announcement. Employees are being offered a minimum of 14 weeks' pay with a July 1st enrollment deadline. Other parts of Google, including YouTube, are also requiring US employees within a 50-mile radius of an office to return to work at least three days a week by September, or be laid off with severance. 'It's been an incredible few months -- we shared our vision at I/O and GML, and we've been shipping at a dizzying pace,' Nick Fox, the head of Google's wider 'Knowledge and Information' group that includes Search, said in an internal memo I obtained. 'We've seen a super positive response to AI Mode including our shopping announcements, heard excitement about our new ads experiences directly from businesses, and are bringing Maps to cutting-edge new surfaces like Gemini Live and XR glasses.' 'It's been intense – but also intensely fun and energizing – and I've seen and heard the same from many of you,' I took on this role to lead K&I because I believe there's no better place to transform the lives of billions of users through this AI moment. This is the opportunity of a lifetime -- and it's here right now.'

2025 is the year creator platforms will drive more ad revenue than old media, a new WPP forecast says
YouTube has blown past prestige streamers like Netflix and Disney+ to become the biggest TV company by viewership. And the traditional media business is about to get another wake-up call. This year, ad revenue from creator-driven platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn will exceed ad revenue driven by studios and media companies known for their professionally made content, WPP Media's new mid-year global ad forecast says. WPP Media — a part of ad holding company giant WPP — estimated that the ad revenue generated by those creator-driven platforms would just exceed the $235 billion driven by TV, audio, print, and cinema companies this year. That's a shift from 2019, when WPP estimated that professional content companies' share of content-based ad revenue topped 70%, with creator-driven platforms driving the rest, said Kate Scott-Dawkins, global president of Business Intelligence at WPP Media. WPP acknowledged that the definition of the creator economy can be blurry. It adjusted for the fact that some of the revenue generated by those creator-driven platforms comes from professional sources, as when companies like Disney and Comcast put clips on YouTube. WPP also categorized some of the biggest YouTubers, like MrBeast, who's made the jump to Amazon's Prime Video with a competition show, as professional content creators. While WPP's estimate includes TikTok, it excludes China-based companies. WPP separately calculated the revenue going to creators directly. The firm estimated revenue would total about $185 billion in 2025, up 20% from 2024, and double to more than $376 billion by 2030. WPP estimated that about 60% of that revenue comes in the form of brands and sponsorship deals, with the remainder from other sources, including the revenue split that platforms like YouTube share with creators. WPP said that sources of revenue for traditional media are largely declining. TV advertising is slated to grow just 1% this year, to $162.5 billion. A quarter of that comes from streaming, which is expected to grow rapidly, by 12.5% in 2025 and to about $72 billion by 2030. Audio (which includes video advertising formats attached to podcasts) will be flat at $26.5 billion this year. Print will continue its decline, shedding about 3% to $45.5 billion, according to WPP. Overall, WPP projects global advertising will grow 6% to $1.08 trillion in 2025, a downgrade from its December forecast of 7.7%. The figure excludes US political advertising.

YouTube says its ecosystem created 490k jobs and added $55B to the US GDP in 2024
YouTube released a report on Tuesday that shows just how influential the creator economy has become. YouTube says that its creative ecosystem contributed over $55 billion to the US GDP and supported more than 490,000 full time jobs, according to research by Oxford Economics. When YouTube talks about its creative ecosystem, it's not just talking about creators. This includes anyone who works with YouTube creators (video editors, assistants, publicists), as well as people who work for creator-oriented companies (Patreon, Spotter, Linktree, etc). But these figures continue to grow, even in a time when venture capitalists are no longer pouring money into the industry like they were about four years ago. In 2022, YouTube and Oxford Economics reported that its creative ecosystem about 390,000 jobs and contributed over $35 billion to the US GDP, meaning that these 2024 figures jumped by 100,000 jobs and $20 billion. These numbers are so large because YouTube provides the most consistent and lucrative opportunities for creators. Those who qualify for YouTube's Partner Program can earn 55% of revenue earned from ads; even for mid-range creators (not the MrBeasts of the world), that can amount to several thousand dollars a month. While TikTok and YouTube Shorts have tried to monetize their platforms, the industry hasn't figured out a way to reliably distribute ad revenue among short form creators. As both a fast-growing and often misunderstood sector, creators have been advocating for American institutions from banks to the government to better serve their industry. Some creators struggle to qualify for business credit cards or get certain business loans, regardless of their demonstrable financial solvency.
