Confused by Multi-Platform Advertising?
By Jim Cosgrove  
With the increasing appetite for timely news delivered to a dizzying array of mobile devices and desktop computers, how is it possible to design an effective cross-platform ad campaign?

Content is Still King!
When we see an ad online or in print, it is usually the secondary result of doing something else, such as reading a news article or blog, searching for information, playing a game, or viewing our Facebook news feed. When we consume content on the web, we see the ads that are placed near it. So everything about the ad depends on its placement near the "host" content.

For news organizations, web traffic and the resulting ad impressions are wholly dependent upon fresh, original, and relevant content being consistently delivered to the consumer.

business needs their website to be easily accessible on multiple platforms.

"The market is continuing to change and as more people learn about responsive websites, the more they realize that it could make a big difference in their business," said Tom Mirabella, co-founder of the eight-person web-design startup.

The report also showed that marketing responsibilities are growing to include the ownership of technology to provide better access to new information. In new areas such as mobile, up to 70 percent of marketers are directly or indirectly involved in selection and management of tools.
