Viewability

A metric focused on ads being physically seen by users.

Virtual Events

The new kids on the block. Events held in a virtual environment vs. a physical location. They can be live-streamed or recorded and are a great workaround to physical barriers such as distance, weather + health. 99.9% of the time, they are a lot of fun.

The idea that real-time weather data can give marketers a deeper understanding of their audience and support contextual messaging — as weather can impact a person's routine, experiences and even mood.

A measure of how much money you’ve spent this year, from the very first day of your calendar year through today’s date.
