The Race For Your Time And Money

The Race For Your Time And Money

For every 24 hours, Americans spend on average only 5.94 online, which means that companies only have those six hours every day to get the right messaging in front of the right audience and convert them into customers.

The race for your time and money has only gotten tighter thanks to the addition of the apps and channels we use to live, work, learn, and play like Google, Facebook, IG, TikTok and Netflix.
