Put simply, sequential advertising is a process by which ads are presented to a target audience in a predetermined order, with each message triggered by a user's previous action. Rather than persuading a user to take action immediately, this approach allows brands to tell a linear story-using a variety of creative methods and multiple channels-which builds towards the desired outcome as brand awareness and purchase intent increase along the customer journey. 2, record 1, English, - sequential%20advertising
