What: A free webinar hosted by Ingram exploring today’s changing landscape in book discoverability.  

In today’s marketplace there is no shortage of platforms to place ads. Consumers are bombarded by ads everywhere they go, online or not, and 80% of marketers agree that marketing has changed more in the past three years than in the past 50.  

Digital advertising continues to evolve in real-time reacting to changes in technology and macroeconomic conditions. The NPD Group predicts TikTok & #BookTok will continue to drive sales into 2023, and publishers will struggle to find readers for frontlist titles.

In the wake of these challenges, how do publishers choose platforms on which to focus? How do publishers create ads to rise above the noise? How do publishers target the right audience?
