Summary
A new bill was introduced this week that could literally take away your ability to be seen by your target audience.
In today’s episode, host Kasim Aslam shares his thoughts on the Verge article that came out this week: “Democrats Unveil Bill to Ban Online ‘Surveillance Advertising.’” Kasim, who is anti-partisan, is forced to get “mildly political” as he responds to this unsettling news. The bill would ban all use of digital advertising targeting ads to users. Kasim doesn’t want to be dramatic, but this is a dramatic bill, he says. If passed, it could effectively be the end of digital marketing as we know it. If they take away your ability to be seen by a relevant audience, “your message will be lost. You’ll be de-platformed. You’ll be a needle in a stack of needles.”
Listen in to hear Kasim’s thoughtful hot take and what he thinks is actually the solution to all of our trafficking problems.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- What kind of targeting the bill does “allow” and why that’s not a concession
- What the “Overton Window” is and why it matters
- Why and how this bill hamstrings every single small business out there
- Tips for building (and being grateful for) a beautiful community

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, Ralph here with something that could seriously upgrade your top of funnel ad game. |
| 0:06.8 | If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel |
| 0:10.5 | all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads |
| 0:17.9 | or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much. |
| 0:29.4 | But our friends over at AdCritter have figured this stuff out. |
| 0:33.2 | They do connect to TV ads so you can be everywhere without spending millions on Super Bowl ads, |
| 0:39.9 | but they pair it with display retargeting. So you're hitting the audiences with a complete approach. |
| 0:46.4 | You reach them, then you remind them, and then you collect the revenue. It's a strategy |

| 1:15.1 | They make it easy to connect with the right people, |
| 1:17.4 | the actual people that have interacted with your ads in the past, |
| 1:20.7 | and then allow them to naturally flow through your funnel |
| 1:23.7 | so you can convert them at bottom of funnel. |
| 1:26.9 | Now, the folks at AdCriter, we twisted |
| 1:28.8 | their arm to get us a great deal for you, the PT listener. They are offering a special deal for y'all, |
| 1:35.1 | and that is you can get a $500 campaign credit, meaning $500 in free money to test out the platform |
| 1:41.9 | or dollar for dollar matching on any TV campaign up to five grand. |
