Sequential Messaging

Also: Sequential retargeting

Showing a person a series of ads in a planned order, with each step conditioned on exposure to or engagement with the previous one. Sequencing is built with audience rules in a DSP or with Meta's and YouTube's ad sequencing tools and is used for storytelling and for moving people down the funnel.
