DESCRIPTION

As traditional publisher metrics evolve, there is more importance placed on shareability and engagement. With a policy against banner ads, BuzzFeed is instead focused on the creation of native advertorial content that is as readable and shareable as its editorial offering. This session will highlight BuzzFeed's successful strategy for native advertising.
