Abstract

This research systemically reviews the directions in existing research in the digital marketing domain and unveils the irresponsibility in the digital advertising domain. The inefficiencies inherited from traditional advertising are enhanced or magnified by digital channels. This research reviews previous studies on advertising efficiency and states the enhanced challenges in the digital era: agency problem, advertising effect measurement, and the black box by programmatic advertising. Further, this research proposes the data as one potential direction for future study in the digital advertising domain.
