CUSTOM<br />
CONTENT<br />
VS<br />
TRADITIONAL<br />
ADVERTISING<br />
AND THE<br />
WINNER IS....<br />
The power of content<br />
continues to make its<br />
presence felt. According to<br />
Time Inc.’s “How Custom<br />
Content Inspires Consumers”<br />
study, two in three consumers<br />
have greater trust in custom<br />
content than traditional<br />
advertising. In addition to<br />
trust, the study (which<br />
queried more than 17,000<br />
Millennials, Gen Z and Gen<br />
Xers) shows that custom<br />
content is perceived as<br />
thoughtful and provides value.<br />
