Advertising has traditionally been one of two types: interruptive, like TV and radio, and in-content, like newspaper or most digital. Digital has been driven by in-content, but because of voice search, much of digital's paradigm may be forced to become interruptive. This could mean a massive... Continue reading at Advertising Age
