It’s one more price that price advertising and performance advertising overlap ample that the lines are getting blurred. And that reality has sunk in deeply with the total agency keeping companies, that are all making an are trying of their possess programs to wrap their arms around the burgeoning note of e-commerce and performance-pushed advertising and media.
