- Display Advertising - including banner advertising & retargeting
- Mobile Advertising
Display advertising usually made up of branded photos, videos, graphics or rich media content, are placed on third party websites, which when clicked, refer the user back to your own website.
The first rule of advertising is that your adverts have to be seen to have any effect. "Using digital media and social media to get your information out there, especially to the younger generation, was already a trend.
Due to the long memories that the advertising and marketing industries have "Brands are always reminding people that they exist", that's why some businesses will always maintain advertising, no matter how bad things get, so that they stay in the consumer's mind, even if consumer spending falls. It pays to keep your brand in the consumer's eye".
