Copy the link to learn more on our site: http://www.mdgadvertising.com/blog/the-shift-to-native-advertising-in-marketing-infographic/ - It’s a simple premise. If you want to engage online consumers, give them more of what they go online for in the first place. Advertisers are doing just that by shifting to paid content that’s similar in nature to and displayed in the same format as the editorial content surrounding it. The idea is to get consumers to click on and then share these “native ads” with others.
It’s a solution that benefits everyone involved, including publishers, brands, advertisers, and consumers. Advertisers and marketers gain a more relevant and engaging way to reach their target markets. Publishers make money from selling branded content to advertisers. And consumers get more of the kinds of content they’re searching for. Add in the rapid growth of social media and mobile technology usage, and native advertising holds vast potential.
A new infographic from MDG Advertising explains this new phenomenon and reveals some impressive statistics:
70% of consumers want to learn about products through content as opposed to traditional ad methods

With savvy online consumers less interested in passive promotion and more
interested in active conversation, native advertising is gaining traction.
In this online advertising model, paid or branded content is displayed alongside other content in similar format, matching both
form and function to engage consumers and increase their likelihood of clicking on the ads and sharing them with others. It’s a
symbiotic relationship making consumers, publishers, brands, and advertisers happy. With consumers’ social media and mobile
technology use steadily on the rise, native advertising’s potential is vast.
