Apple is set to release iOS 14.5 this week, so it’s important to prepare for the new privacy updates ASAP. As mentioned in our webinar, “How will iOS 14 impact Facebook advertisers?” iOS 14.5’s consumer privacy protections mean that Facebook’s targeting capabilities based on age, gender, or platform will no longer be accessible and there will be a decreased amount of data available to be used for segmentation.

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.
With the proliferation of digital audio, podcasts, and streaming radio, the way we listen to content is ever-changing.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are spending time at home and as a result, social media usage is on the rise – far beyond what was previously predicted.

AUDIENCEX is ready to help you optimize your social media campaigns and deliver strong performance with our new guide, “The Social Sweet Spot”, a comprehensive manual for social media marketing.

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.
