You know, the ad industry in general still hasn't quite figured out what to do with online advertising. We don't seem to trust it the way we trust a nice 30 second TV spot or the safe simplicity of a billboard. But lots and lots of people — looking for news, or new jobs, or an entertaining escape from the real world — will be heading online in the months ahead. This is a GREAT time to advertise online (if you've got an agency who knows what they're doing). Want some help with that from an established yet unbelievably digitally-minded midwestern ad agency?
