Performance Marketing World Feature: ‘Marketers are facing a battlefield’: Industry predictions ahead of Black Friday
Josh Rosen

Josh Rosen, President of Hotspex Media, recently shared his thoughts on Black Friday with Performance Marketing World!

Highlighting Emotion: "Consumers expect great deals on Black Friday. Brands are shifting focus from rational benefits to emotional ads that highlight authenticity and shared values."

Impact of Emotional Ads: "In the right context, emotional ads can boost brand awareness by 21%, turning holiday shoppers into lifelong customers."

Balancing Act: "It’s crucial for brands to balance short-term tactics like discounts with long-term brand-building efforts. Otherwise, they risk encouraging consumers to always wait for sales."

Omnichannel Success: "Top-performing brands leverage the full range of digital channels to connect with their audience."
