Hello Bidtellectuals!
Congratulations to Bidtellectual of the Week Heba Abdelaleem!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hey little love bugs! Any big plans this weekend? Check out this great list of streaming recommendations. My favs are My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Cruel Intentions (duh), but I’m dying to check out Always Be My Maybe. These recs for virtual Valentine’s Day dates are also amazing. A virtual tour of Romeo & Juliet’s hometown? Yes please (it’s your very own Love Story). I bet you’re wondering how Hallmark is adjusting their cards this year. The answer is toilet paper (really).
For last minute campaign adjustments, consider contextual targeting to reach last minute shoppers looking for inspiration and commit to a multichannel approach. Download our onesheet or watch our video for more data and insights.
