    Amazon Advertising - Relevant Now?

    Earlier this year I had a co-worker send me an article, that at the time I deemed "not yet", speaking of Amazon's ramp up of their Ad programs. The article claimed, "...for the first time, Google and Facebook’s combined share of digital ads will decrease this year. That’s because Amazon is...

    Are you trying to CUT your way to growth?

    When auto sales slowed during the last recession, we witnessed dealers and groups indiscriminately chopping their marketing budgets in an effort to save money.
