It’s a Social ad, it’s a Display ad, no — it’s a Social Display ad!
We’re here to talk about the love child of cool programmatic technology and why it’s a great tactic to add to your advertising strategy.
We’ll be covering:
Social Display ads are a type of ad that configures your existing social media posts (or ads) and delivers them as programmatic display banner ads.
Whether your campaign objective is to create brand awareness, retarget or drive conversions, it is an efficient way to showcase your brand around the internet.
Social Display ads pull content directly from the channels and display them dynamically.
