Contemporary IMC elements include a wide variety of new options, such as online marketing, social media, cell phone marketing, buzz-marketing, branded entertainment, product
placement. These new marketing communication elements and online media have changed the interface between consumers and organisations, where there has been a shift in
power between the media and the consumer, with consumer-generated media turning consumers into content creators. Consumers now demand greater control over what, when,
where and how they are exposed to corporate communications, thereby blurring the traditional boundaries between public and private, producers and consumers.
