Native Ads
2015 saw an increase in the use of Native ads, these are better known as Blogs, Videos and infographics. This is a form of advertising that allows companies to inform their clients on interesting topics, without directly advertising their products as such, but rather get their brand known.
Behavioural Data
This year behavioural data has increased, what this software does is analyse peoples’ browsing activity, buying activity and general interests, this data is used to present ads and information to people who actually have an interest in these particular things. So instead of your news feed displaying information/data you have no interest in, it will be filled with information that interests you. Giving users a better experience while browsing.
