The inevitable rise of Native Advertising
According to Reuters’ Felix Salmon, “native content tends to aspire more to going viral” more than sponsored content or display advertising. In other words, native advertising wants to compel your superconsciousness to share, tweet, retween, like, and +1 rather than just infect your subconsciousness thereby branding you — or even the holy grail of converting you to a sale. Side note: Nudge measures virality too. Not all content is viral but knowing the propensity of a piece of content to go viral helps you benchmark content. Source: SocialMedia.biz
