SEASON: 4 EPISODE: 2

Episode Overview:

Advertising doesn't have to be a guessing game. It’s a predictable science, and one that we can understand. Businesses want results, but often struggle to navigate the complexities of advertising effectively. Traditional media methods are costly and digital platforms are constantly evolving.

Most companies are unsure if their campaigns are delivering the desired results, and they lack the ability to objectively know if they are wasting ad budgets or missing out on opportunities.

My guest today will share with us strategies employing the latest technologies to transform advertising into the exact science that it should’ve always been, so you can forecast advertising success, before you even spend a dime. Join me now for my conversation with advertising expert, Skip Wilson.
