Advertising Week New York: $50B Left Behind: Capturing SMB Spend

$50B Left Behind: Capturing SMB Spend
Publishers are leaving money on the table, $50B to be exact. That’s the estimated amount small and local businesses will pour into digital advertising over the next few years. Smaller buyers want to connect with their consumers in more ways that just social and search but don’t get a seat at the table with premium publishers due to budgets or resources needed from both sides.
