1.Reddit: the newest marketing hub?
Reddit has launched a series of new case studies, cheekily titled as ‘Meet Your Maker’, showcasing the creative ways brands are tapping into ad design and reaching Reddit’s fanbases. Not only does the series present examples of how brands have employed a diverse mix of media (think GIFs or Alternate Reality Games), but also how the campaigns stack up against other top-performing channels.
Reddit’s series includes a selection of case studies spanning across digital to food industries like Adobe and noosa Yoghurt. No matter what industry your business is in, Reddit may be an unexpected solution to keep your marketing efforts fresh and exciting.
2. Google Ads releases feature for “automatically created assets”
Next time you set up a Google ads campaign you may come across Google’s newest beta feature that generates headlines, descriptions, and ad assets for you. The feature is made to improve relevance and performance of your ads to connect with your audience.
How does Google do it? It grabs the content from your website landing page, domain, and other ads in tandem with the keywords you provide. If you’re not ready just yet, don’t fret- users can opt-out of using this feature.
3. Meta in the early stages of developing new ‘Basic Ads’ product to make up for data privacy battle
According to Business Insider, Metais developing a new range of ads that “wouldn’t rely on any anonymised personal info from users”, in efforts to sway away from data privacy concerns. While there is limited information available, the platform looks to regain the interest of advertisers once again.
4. LinkedIn is making running ads easier for marketers with the launch of Business Manager
