UX vs UI See the article here.
The digital age of acronyms on for the books. No, you literally may need a book to keep up with them. Some terms that have been thrown around more frequently are the terms UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface). It’s pretty simple once you break it down. Learn the difference between UX and UI in this informative article. I personally think UX is more important.
DIGITAL ADVERTISING TRENDS

Digital Will Surpass TV & Print Advertising See the article here.
A trend that makes us all smile at McKay Advertising is that more and more, companies are realizing that the traditional media model is a dying model. EMarketer projects that in 2019, most of the money that will be spent on advertising will be bought digitally. In recent weeks and months, we have too noticed clients are cutting down on their billboard and print buys and concluding that digital is the most efficient and effective way to reach new potential customers.
