Born Under a Bad Sign
If your inbox, Twitter feed, and timeline haven't been recently inundated with articles about ad-blocking, I'm envious… Really envious. Are you somewhere cool with no wifi?
For you blissfully unaware, ad-blocking providers like AdBloc let users remove all of the ads shown on every web page they visit. Tech Crunch reports, "a whopping 200 million people worldwide use ad-blockers when surfing the web."
While the ad-blockers are music to the ears of users– imagine no more pop-ups or ads crowding your screen – agencies and brands are singing the blues. To further increase ad-blocking interest, they help with page load speed and preserving battery life. Apple has even developed an app that blocks ads (even the pretty native ones) including ads on their own Apple News.
So what's a marketer to do?
