I’m working thru a marketing cert via Google rn (working with the enemy) and I just learned how many ads we’re exposed to on a daily basis!

Any guesses?

Tap for spoiler

4000-10000

ads per day !!!

    I gotta wonder what they’re counting as an impression. How much is junk mail/email spam, for instance? How much is fully peripheral - billboards you’re not stopping to read, ambient Internet banner ads you’re deliberately ignoring or clicking through? Native ads people simple don’t clock or understand?

    I also have to wonder how many of these ads “stick” in anyone’s brain. It seems like exposure at that volume would make retaining any individual impression unlikely.
