I hadn’t thought about the power of radio or podcasts in advertising. I’ve been focused solely on digital ads, but now I’m considering these more traditional methods too.

The section on building a strong brand image through ads is so important. I’ve seen companies fail because they didn’t focus enough on brand perception. This is a great reminder to prioritize it in my next campaign.

Knowing the exact goals before starting a campaign is something I need to work on. I’ve run ads in the past without clear objectives, and now I see why they didn’t succeed as much as I had hoped.
