This Week in Native Ads 4/19

Colin Nagy of creative shop FF here covering for Ben while he is down in NZ.

This Week in Native Ads 10/6

BuzzFeed’s new Twitter show AM to DM announced 1m viewers this week – but unclear as to how ‘long’ people were watching. Even they don’t know! This is the problem of our times. My take -> that’s probably 1million appearances in the stream, which based on Facebook’s CPM would only yield BuzzFeed $150 in earnings. Or another way, cost a brand $150 plus Facebooks margin to buy those ‘views’. Now I’ve stringed… Continue reading
