A look at Paid Media Trends in 2020, and further

For a Marketing Strategy to be effective, it needs to stand on various tactics. Paid Media is gaining in importance when it comes to reaching the right audience with the right messaging, at the right time. It is being largely believed that with organic social traffic declining, and more of the SERP (Search Engine Result Page) getting dedicated to paid advertising placements by search engines, one has to pay in order to increase one’s brand visibility, online.
