Over the next few hours, marketers across the U.S. will be watching the events of Inauguration Day closely, ready to pause, tweak or block ads from appearing against problematic content should things go sideways. While some marketers will stick to blunt tactics like blocking ads from news sites entirely, many are turning to more nuanced strategies that also ensure their dollars support quality journalism. Desperate times call for accurate measures.<\/p>\n

Of course, there will always be those marketers whose first response in any crisis is to steer ads clear of news \u2014 media owners be damned. It happened when rioters stormed the Capitol building in Washington D.C. earlier this month. But often, those were short, precautionary pauses and the ads were back on the same sites within 48 hours.

In fact, Universal McCann execs are telling clients to run rather than block as many ads as necessary around the inauguration so long as they buy ads from either lists of approved sites and words or private marketplaces of premium inventory. Before those ads are bought, they\u2019re mapped against a calendar of all the events related to last year\u2019s presidential election, from the day the ballots were confirmed to the middle of next month. The message is clear: prepare for the unexpected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
