Negative Reach.

Brands invest in advertising to reach consumers and ad quality is critical to do this well for brand safety in an era of fake news and disruption. What if they don’t properly limit frequency? Or what if a brand’s ads appear adjacent to questionable or unsafe content? Do consumers distinguish ads from the content and context in which they appear? Or do they hold brands responsible for their ad placements? Is there such a thing as “Negative Reach”? The short answer is yes—and it could be damaging your brand and your business’s bottom line.
