The brands that "get" digital: Appealing creative showcase

Digital marketing isn't about finding the biggest possible bullhorn through which to shout your message. It's about forging meaningful, durable connections with the audiences that really matter to your business. And let's face it -- your audience isn't all 6.8 billion people on this planet. It's a sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-set of that. (And for some of you niche brands out there, throw on a few more subs as needed.)

The challenge, then, is not developing killer digital creative. It's developing creative that your audience thinks is killer. So how can you get inside the heads of consumers with whom you might have very little in common demographically? It never hurts to ask the experts.

At this year's ad:tech San Francisco, five digital marketing specialists showcased stellar digital creative executions across five key demographics categories:

• Moms
• Men aged 18-34
• Teens and millennials
• Multicultural audiences
• Boomers and beyond
