The Olympics have kicked off in Pyeongchang and publishers and marketers already have another chance to reach their target consumers, in a very big way.
With the Olympics underway, publishers and advertisers alike are vying for the chance to reach tens of millions of global viewers at once.
This is a big deal for brands in particular. The 2014 Winter Olympics set a record of $977 million in ad spend. U.S. ad spend is expected to reach new highs for the 2018 Olympics. Digital users will have unprecedented access to the games, as NBC plans to offer 1,800 hours of live streaming coverage.
Over on social, we expect this to play out in bigger ways than before:
