Think about the last time you drove through your hometown. Maybe you passed the same diner you’ve been seeing since childhood or the family-owned hardware store where your grandfather bought tools. Chances are, those businesses didn’t survive on word of mouth alone. They showed up—again and again—in the places people in the community trusted most. For decades, that has meant one thing: local news media.
Think about the last time you landed on a website and suddenly saw an ad for a brand you’d never heard of. Odds are you didn’t click right away. But a few days later, when you saw the brand again – maybe on a social feed, a news site, or a banner ad on your favorite blog – you felt a little tug of familiarity. That’s the magic of programmatic display advertising: the ability to get your message in front of the right people, at the right time, in the right context.
Ever wonder how some businesses effortlessly attract attention, gather a treasure trove of customer insights, and generate leads that actually convert? The secret isn’t magic—it’s promotional advertising.
I’m going to be real with you, and deep down inside you know this is true: Most people who land on your site won’t convert.
In fact, 97% of visitors leave without buying, calling, or even opting in. That’s not failure—it’s just how user behavior works.
Trust has become the ultimate currency for businesses aiming to authentically connect with their audiences. Recent months have seen Americans increasingly turning to print news media amid significant national events, particularly those involving the current administration. While print news media has always held substantial value, this renewed focus highlights its enduring credibility.
If you’re looking to stay ahead in the digital advertising world, don’t sleep on the power of programmatic advertising, also known as “targeted display advertising”. In 2025, we’re seeing more precise targeting, expansion into new channels, and a heightened emphasis on both privacy and fraud prevention.
Any business owner probably already knows that creating an effective advertisement is crucial to reaching new customers and driving sales. But there’s so many options out there, each having diverse audiences, it’s hard to really know where to start.
All right, entrepreneurs. You want to market your company without wasting a lot of money, but you’re not sure where to begin. You’re in good hands with your helpful personal marketer, so don’t worry.
Over-the-top (OTT) marketing has become an effective marketing tool for businesses of all shapes and sizes, but specifically for small businesses trying to compete on an equal level with larger businesses within the TV space.
