At Lead Generation World, industry professionals came together to network and explore new ways to generate high-quality leads. The focus was on discovering innovative strategies and technologies that could optimize campaign performance. As part of the US Ad Sales team at SmartNews, I had the chance to share how our platform helps advertisers tap into valuable traffic sources and deliver impactful results.

These features enable precise targeting, strategic bidding, and cost minimization, ensuring your campaigns reach the most valuable audiences and boost ROI.
