Brands Take a Stand
CSR is not a bonus for brands in today’s market, it’s a must. With the growth of corporations and their influence in markets worldwide, it’s no wonder three-quarters of global consumers are expecting brands to speak out on important issues and act ethically, even in times of innovation.
Ad Me on Facebook
Facebook is giving brands more control over where ads appear on its website and through an application. Brands are now able to decide what types of content they can associate with via Audience Network, Instant Articles and in-stream videos. Advertisers can also see where their ads could run before planning their campaign.
