What Is Ad Viewability and how is it Affecting Your Ad Campaign's Performance?

Any brand attempting to reach out to consumers in today's increasingly competitive and fragmented media landscape must improve and re-evaluate their advertisements with a focus on brand metrics such as awareness, and ad viewability.
