The Death of Advertising As We Know It
The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker and chief technology officer Jeremy Phillips discuss emerging trends in technology.
In today's edition, Jeremy and Eric look at the changing face of advertising. Previously, time spent on an advertising medium correlated strongly with advertising spend within that space.
