Campaign of the Week:
These are the tools you should be using to book travel
Technology has radically altered the landscape of travel planning in recent years, creating a profusion of websites, apps, and devices designed to book trips better—making it significantly more difficult to cut through the noise in the process. The solution is a carefully edited mix drawn from the hundreds of available services, which in combination can smooth out a potentially rocky odyssey into a seamless journey tailored for efficiency or pleasure.
Why we like it:
Travel arrangements are something we are constantly trying to simplify, reduce the hassle and most importantly the cost. What better than an app that does it for you? Delta is helping us to plan our travel by suggesting all the best apps. Including the Fly Delta App of course.

What Native Ads Mean for PR
The romance has barely started, but for many in PR, there’s a love-hate relationship with native ads. The market is confused as to what these are, there’s a credible argument about misleading readers, a potential Google problem, and an open-ended question that remains unanswered as to regulation.

Consumers wary of native advertising but accept it is part of how they get free news
Traditional display advertising on the web is in trouble. Fewer people are clicking on banners, yields for publishers are static or falling, and many users shut off ads completely.
