Why Social Video Rules When it Comes to Engagement
Social publisher 'Little Things' shut down this week after four years of driving inspirational viral content. The CEO is blaming Facebook's recent algorithm change, which, he said, had a "material" impact on the business. When it comes to monetizing social media, engagement is the key. Dan Lagani, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Diply stops by to discuss the new rules of social engagement.
Lagani explains social video remains one of the most effective ways to reach consumers, and drive engagement at scale.
He says it's also the most obvious ad format where attention and engagement metrics can be applied.
According to Diply's market research, US digital video ad spending will grow at double digit annual rates through at least 2021, reaching $22.18 billion by that time, or 17.2% of all digital ad spending.
The Energy Department is making a push to strengthen the U.S. battery supply chain, announcing up to $3.5 billion for companies that produce batteries and the critical minerals that go into them.
Ed Egilinsky, managing director and head of sales and distribution & alternatives with Direxion, joined Cheddar News to discuss how bond traders are reacting to the latest consumer price index data and how they're positioning portfolios ahead of next week's release of Nvidia's earnings. Egilinsky also discussed some of the other bigger-cap companies, including Alphabet, Amazon and Apple.
Facebook and Instagram will require political ads running on their platforms to disclose if they were created using artificial intelligence, their parent company announced on Wednesday.
