Advertise Different: Doing it yourself
So recently I read about ESPN’s decision to manage their own ad inventory and drop Yahoo’s ad service. I think this is a great example of a company that is advertising different. I also think this is a very big deal. Why? Because it shows that ESPN found a way to better monetize their own [...]
