Think about your last online purchase. You likely didn’t see a single ad and instantly click, “Buy Now. Today’s shoppers discover, research, and buy across dozens of different touchpoints. They might discover a brand through a social video, compare prices on an open-web news site, and finally convert days later. Consumers don’t think in terms of “channels” or “formats”: they just experience your brand.
The question is: is your advertising strategy customer-centric, or channel-centric?
