Many campiagn managers tend to ignore SMO and SEO. This could be a costly oversight given how expensive SEM is turning out to be nowadays.

Why should you limit yourself to just one of them Why not learns the trade of the others and take your campaigns and businesses to new heights

Let’s step back for a moment and see why digital advertising is so hot !

Traditional Marketing is ‘Interruption Marketing’ and yet so expensive !! A 10 second ad on IPL last year was priced around 5-10 lacs. Imagine watching an ad just before the last over of a match : What kind of retention can it possibly have ?

So why is TV and outdoor still around, you may ask..

(1) Because of ‘reach’ : The large advertisers have no option but to resort to TV for mass campaigns Figures above are for INDIA

To be noted : for the ‘teen’ audiences, the ‘viewership’ for social networks is in fact MORE than even TV.

And (2) because Old habits die hard. Media buyers and creative folks need new skills to do campaigns on digital. And they are still learning those.
