Social advertising: reach built around audiences
Social advertising runs inside social platforms, in feeds, stories and short-video streams. Targeting is built on audiences rather than keywords, which makes it strong for discovery and for staying present through a longer decision.
The market in the United States
US social budgets are spread across several large platforms with different audiences and measurement rules, which makes cross-platform frequency and incrementality the main planning questions.
