These are some of my views on this digital marketing malarkey ... there's more on: AlanCharlesworth.com

Over the years – as you can see – I’ve added to this blog only sporadically. I decided to leave all the old posts ‘live’ as I think they can still be useful in helping folk understand digital marketing.

Oh ... and I write all of these entries myself. There's no AI used on this blog.

Enjoy 😊

effective ad spend?

Platforms such as Spotify and YouTube offer subscription access which includes no ads. So - pretty much by definition - folks who access these sites 'for free' are either mean or they can't really afford the subscriptions. 

And yet the majority of ads I see on such platforms [I don't pay for subscriptions as I do not use them enough] are for luxury brands or expensive products that are way - and I mean way - beyond my budget. 

I raise this issue because I'd like to know how marketers buying these ads are identifying and/or selecting [or even if] their target markets when spending their ad budgets.
