Great content is the key for native and new business options. You can manage a lot of tools and cost if you have content+UX+data #PELive15 — Juan Varela (@periodistas21) May 18, 2015 This is no less true in the realm of native advertising said John Lerner, CEO of Breaking Media. Whether editorial has 100% control of the native content or not, publishers must work with advertisers to make sure the content is right for the brand's audience. Native advertising is a spectrum.
