There’s no question that marketers today have more tools, more channels, and more data at their disposal than ever before. In theory, that should make it easier to build strong brands.

Brands are spending more than ever on digital media, yet consumers are noticing less of it. Let's face it, most people can see an ad coming a mile away and skip right past it. The over-proliferation of irrelevant, boring, and overtly promotional content has trained consumers to simply ignore it. Then advertisers wonder why performance keeps getting harder to sustain.
