The thread of conversation this week with more advertisers pulling back on Google is: Quality quality QUALITY! Today, the NYTimes released this story around how Chase reduced its targeting from 400,000 websites to 5,000 to get the same result. Give it a read. This is just good, smart marketing, finding what works and doing more of it. Question is – why aren’t more advertisers doing this? Why aren’t providers doing it for them? Advertisers have been… Continue reading

This Week in Native Ads 3/17

A lot of my coffee chats in the last week or so have been around, what is the long run for content? In the long run, brand created content, distributed. Or partner creator content, distributed. In the long run – the best creators, powered by the best tech will win. It seems in any engagement between advertisers & publishers, it’s who has the best tech that wins. It’s like a technology arms race. But not only the best tech but… Continue reading

This Week in Native Ads 2/24

This week I got out of the big smoke and headed to Chicago & Boston to talk native with existing and soon-to-be clients. It’s the best part of my job — sitting down, helping people adopt native. The common thread is what I touched on last week, there’s a bunch of brands still sitting on the fences, as they need some help getting started with native. So whilst early adopters are getting slick, the bulk of the adoption curve need it to… Continue reading
