What really happens?
11:26
A lot of national advertising is built from the top down.
11:28
National audiences or strategy scale down into individual geographies, as you just said.
11:33
But consumer behavior doesn't scale down neatly.
11:37
Even if you theoretically recognize user IDs to apply to a segment, what's true nationally may not be true in Philadelphia, Seattle, or Dothan, Alabama.
11:46
Plus, audience behavior may differ meaningfully even within individual markets.
11:51
So local requires a bottoms-up approach.
