Context

What is context?

Context in digital marketing is everything around a message that changes how it is read: the device, the hour, the channel, what the person searched for just before, and whether they have dealt with the brand already. The same sentence lands in an email to an existing customer and intrudes in an ad to a stranger — which is why copy that worked can stop working without being changed.
