Advertising
What is advertising?
“Advertising” is an Anglicism that was adopted in many countries all over the world.
It originates from marketing practices and techniques developed in English-speaking countries, mainly in the United States.
In general, advertising is associated with advertising strategies that use advanced digital technologies and platforms, and is often used in the context of online or digital advertising.
Advertising campaigns often involve using data analysis tools to segment audiences, optimize ad performance, and improve user engagement.
This can include search engine advertising, social media advertising, programmatic advertising, among others.
It is important to highlight that, although advertising can be used in various types of advertising campaigns and different contexts, its use in the area of digital marketing has become much more common.
