User Tip from Media associate, full-service agency
“As you know, in advertising, there are a lot of different niches and different verticals, and we can’t be well-versed in all of them. With Pathmatics, we can get a feel of landscape for a specific industry and then when we’re pitching, we can sound like we know what we’re talking about. We can sound like we’re informed.”
