#ThursdayThoughts

Every Thursday we look at the trends/updates/interesting articles found in the Marketing + Advertising + Tech industry. Each submission is presented by a different MA+A employee and covers various topics applicable to our business. The following are professional opinions, summaries or both.

This week we’ll look at: More Than Half of US Advertising Spend Is Digital, Snapchat Adds New Features To Its Ad Toolkit, 10 Digital Trends For 2021, and Google Ads Unveils Enhancements To Lead Form Extensions.

More Than Half Of US Advertising Spend Is Digital see article here

Snapchat Adds New Features To Its Ad Toolkit see the article here

Snapchat is leaning into its expanding options for direct response advertisers.  Snapchat has long been an effective video distribution platform and brand engager, but in a mobile-only environment where user tracking is becoming more difficult due to operating system updates, the low funnel campaigns have been unreliable.  The platform is focusing efforts on adding all sorts of conversion-oriented objectives AND the ability to set those as bidding goals. All this… PLUS Snapchat Audience Network!
