Threat Report Finds Malvertising Accelerating Due To Weak Ad Market (mediapost.com)

Advertising has long been a vector for nefarious actors ranging from organized crime to a variety of other bad actors, but the proliferation of digital media and especially the programmatic advertising marketplace has given rise to increasing opportunities for purveyors of “malvertising” — digital ads served to unsuspecting users that spread malware, compromise computer systems and harm consumers, publishers and platforms.

The Power of Disrupt, Delight, and Drive (jschmid.com)

Want to make a huge difference in response across all your channels? In this fast-paced digital era, capturing and retaining customer attention requires a thoughtful and strategic approach. But sometimes, we create complicated marketing programs without a true understanding of the consumer or what we ultimately want them to do. The formula for great marketing is quite simple. We must DISRUPT their busy lives, we must DELIGHT with content that emotionally resonates and most importantly, we must DRIVE them to do something. Disrupt: Breaking Through the Noise - In today’s oversaturated marketplace, capturing customer attention is an ongoing challenge. Delight: Creating Content that Emotionally Connects - What is it you are truly selling? It’s not about the product and it’s not always about the discount. Drive: Creating Immediate Action - While disruption and delight are essential, your goal in the omnichannel world is to drive customers to act.
