What up, Moz fans? My name is Heather Physioc. I’m Director of the Discoverability Group at VML. We are in Kansas City. Global ad agency headquartered right in the middle of the map.

New Research Reveals Shocking Truth About Political Ad Spending

Nearly 8 billion dollars will be spent on political advertising this year, by far a record. Yet all that loot may be misplaced. When I asked 1,001 Americans how they decide what and whom to vote for, advertising was the 7th most impactful source of information.
