The Double Edged Sword

2. The Rise of Digital Marketing
IN THE PAST 10 TO 15 YEARS TRADITIONAL SOURCES
OF MARKETING PRINT, RADIO,TV, HAVE BEEN ON A
STEEP DECLINE.
NEWER MARKETING AVENUES HAVE RISEN TO TAKE
IT PLACE
FOCUSING ON THE ABILITY TO REACH ANYONE
ANYWHERE ANYTIME, IT HAS CHANGED THE WAY
COMPANIES' MARKET AND HOW CONSUMERS
RESPOND.

3. The Networks
Creating Experiences The Original Four
◦ Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and especially
Facebook opened new avenues for companies
into the consumers life. What was in the
beginning thought of a a nuisance has since
become an acceptable cost of using these
platforms. Instagram and Youtube have
generated value through the personalities on
their sites giving rise to the “influencer”

4. Remember that
scene in “The
Net”
◦ .
It wasn’t that long ago that the
connectivity and ease of our current
internet structure was a thing of

strategies would work since the internet had not yet seen widespread
deployment
In 1993, the first clickable banner went live, after which Hotwired
purchased a few banner ads for their advertising. This marked the
beginning of the transition to the digital era of marketing. Because of
this gradual shift, the year 1994 saw new technologies enter the digital
marketplace. The very same year, Yahoo was launched.” The History and

customer IN the desired
