This past September, Apple unveiled its newest mobile operating system, iOS 14, ahead of the iPhone 12 release, with new features designed to increase consumer privacy. According to AppsFlyer, as of October of 2020, nearly 41% of Apple users were using iOS 14, and this number is expected to continue to increase. While this change was created with a focus on consumer privacy, the implementation of this new iOS is expected to rapidly alter the marketing ecosystem as well.
Native advertising is an effective way for your brand to capture attention and build relevance. By definition, native advertising refers to content in an online publication that appears similar to the publication’s main content, but is paid for by an advertiser. The goal is ultimately to promote the advertiser’s products or services, without blatantly showing a banner advertisement for that product or service. The key to success is to fit your content seamlessly in the environment it appears in, without disrupting the user experience, and instead, adding value to it.

Given the variety of screens and devices every consumer uses on a daily basis, marketers trying to capture the attention of consumers and connect with them face an uphill battle. When building out a marketing plan to reach your target market, there are very few instances where it makes sense to limit your marketing activities to only one channel to accomplish that goal. Rather than putting all your eggs into one basket, multichannel marketing is a better way to share your message with the right people at the right time.
Connected TV (CTV) is top of mind for many marketers today. When the world shut down in March amid the COVID pandemic, CTV viewership went through the roof.
