Episode 330: The Future of Traffic, Part 1

The paid traffic landscape has drastically changed in the past six months, and the best marketers are the ones that can respond, adapt, and come up with solutions.

In this episode, hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam step back and take a 30,000-foot view of what’s really happening in the advertising environment right now. Their respective agencies are doing well, but they’ve definitely taken some punches this year. There’s a lot of traffic still out there, but it has changed fundamentally in the last 3-6 months, and Kasim says it’s never going back to what it was. 

Listen in for ways to stop being romantic about the old ways of making money and move forward into the present reality.

• Which basic principles of marketing to get back to first
• The red flags to look for when someone’s trying to sell you B.S.

• How Kasim’s team fixed the iOS blindspot (to some degree)
