This Week in Native Ads 6/22

T’was the week of Cannes – where we got headlines from the regular suspects, that we expected to get. Heat on Influencer marketing, easy and justified, transparency is needed. ^^ Calling on the social networks to clean up fake followers, for ad spend that isn’t flowing through them, is ambitious though 😉 Given they already block tens of millions of fake accounts/bots each day. AT&T is heating things up, expect acquisitions. Continue reading

This Week in Native Ads 5/11

I’ve been lapping up the sun the last week here in New York. We see Samsung beginning to sell ads direct AND this post by Joe Lazauskas, around media companies copying marketers and marketers are copying media companies. Everyone is competing for attention, so it makes sense that everyone becomes a media company.
