2Microtargeting
Microtargeting is a digital advertising strategy that involves collecting users’ demographic data and consumer data to determine their interests on certain issues, and to influence their opinions and actions. For example, if you want to reach teens who want to find an online job, you’ll send your ad to teenagers. One unique type of microtargeting is geo-fencing, which delivers mobile ads to people whenever they are within a certain range or site.
1Native Advertising
Native advertisements include blog posts, videos or infographics whose main objectives are to amuse, entertain and motivate people without openly promoting the brand. They are usually tagged with the words “paid post” or “sponsored content.” For example, a traditional ad from a make-up retailer will typically include a make-up sale, but a native advertisement from the same retailer might discuss make-up looks.
