Discover what makes these ad networks different and choose the best media channel for your brand engagement goals.
Simply running ads on social media doesn't cut it anymore. Consumers see 4,000 to 10,000 ads each day, so brands are looking for new ways to get their attention.
And attention matters more than anything else! Most ads serve as background noise. But what advertisers need is attention – quality time spent with the brand. Why? The longer an ad is seen, the more likely it is to be remembered. And that results in better brand recall and higher sales.
Attention – this is where mobile gaming and app advertising excels! This media channel is custom-designed to actually capture people's attention, instead of just showing ads in the background. So find out if Monetizr or Digital Turbine would get your brand the most attention.
