Just a couple of days ago, I was having a coffee with an old friend that works in the Communications Department of a big company (that shall remain anonymous, of course), and was having trouble with a campaign that’s coming ahead. So she told me they were launching a new product, which was not actually new but was now targeted for a different audience than their traditional one, and were asked to create pretty much the most efficient campaign ever created and combine both PR and Marketing (I believe she named it in a cool way, something like Global Strategic Communication). So, of course, the Marketing guys came in all about throwing Display Ads, and my old friend’s first thought was “Why take out a Display Ad anyway? Are they even working anymore?” and that’s what brings us to today’s topic: Why do we still choose to take out Display Ads?
