Advertising and disruptive technologies. In many ways, you can’t have one without the other. In past years, disruptive technology meant programmatic media buying, SEO, and mobile.

In 2024, it will be more about augmentation, not automation.

Begin with smaller projects or engagements to test and learn from. Be prepared for setbacks, as they often yield valuable insights that can guide the journey toward more effective practices.
