Small Ad Budgets Yield Big Results With Self Retargeting Tactics

What Is Self Retargeting? We use the term "self retargeting" to talk specifically about targeting and serving ads to people who have already been to an advertiser's physical location and/or website.

Three Tips I Wish I Could Have Given Myself at the Start of my Internship

If I Knew Then, What I Know Now I mentioned in a previous blog that when I first found out about the internship with Ethic Advertising Agency, I knew nothing about Google Grants. Which was what the internship mainly revolved around. I’m very thankful that I was still awarded the opportunity to learn under ESA and study everything I could about Google Grant. As I am approaching the end of my Summer internship, I have not only learned so much about Google Grants, but I also have grown in many other aspects. I received a trial by fire and have...
