The rise and growth of the internet has created massive opportunities for marketers, but countless challenges too. Customers today are more knowledgeable, empowered and skeptical than ever, and audiences are fragmented; gone are the days when you can reach a massive audience with one message. With so many ads, promotions, apps, media and platforms vying for their attention, it’s harder than ever for your message to get through. Yet never before has it been possible to reach so many people around the world in moments, at such low cost, with personalized messages, interactive communication, and vivid experiences that impact in ways traditional advertising never thought possible.
