Internet advertising strategies are the frameworks that determine how, where, and why a brand spends money to reach audiences online, from paid search and programmatic display to video, social, and connected TV.

Anti-advertising sentiment is not a consumer rebellion. It is a signal, and most marketers are misreading it. When people say they hate advertising, they are rarely objecting to the existence of ads.
