From the first banner ad in 1994 to programmatic mobile ads, the internet as we know it was built on one thing: advertising. In this explosive episode of Secret Leaders, we break down the untold story of how ads didn’t just fund the web—they engineered it.


You will learn:

  • The birth of banner ads with AT&T’s legendary 44% CTR
  • Google AdWords’ rise and the search ad revolution
  • How Facebook’s targeting reshaped elections
  • Mobile & programmatic ads that track your every move
  • The next frontier: Ad-powered payments
