Native Ads vs In-App Purchases: Context is King Frank Sinton | Video | | | As powerful as mobile apps are for distributing content and capturing user engagement, the fact that most are offered free of charge puts publishers at risk of losing money on them.

When everything goes right with an ad campaign, the ops contribution is invisible and often overlooked. When anything goes wrong, however, ad ops is the first line of defense (and the first group to get blamed). For those outside that world, I recommend What Happens in Ad Operations, a hilariously not-safe-for-ad-sales blog, where the digital ad ops community commiserates. Add mobile to the... | 77% of Display Ads are Never Seen: Sticky Leah Block | Media Planning | | | Seventy-seven percent of Display ads are never seen, even those that are considered "viewable" (defined as fifty percent of an ad being visible to a user for one or more seconds). At least, that is what Sticky has found in its latest research. Using an opt-in eyeball tracking solution, Sticky tracked five hundred consumers and found that only 51 percent of ads that are considered "viewable" were actually seen. They also found that advertisers have 1.7 seconds, on average, to engage... | How Brand Marketing Measurement Benefits from Life Lessons in Fitness As marketers, we all have goals.
