The Rio 2016 Olympics are right around the corner and we can almost hear the fanfare, or shall we say brand-fare. Due to Rio’s U.S.-friendly time zone, this year’s games are expected to draw significant prime-time viewers. Not only are athletes getting in shape, but brands are too, notes AdWeek. And if you’re looking to market on social, Buffer has three lessons every brand should know. Video, links, other networks, etc. But does that fall under native advertising or content marketing? eMarketer is weighing in.
