4. 1990
• Content creation and content distribution
limited to a few media houses and a few
distributors.
• Readers like you and me could only dream of
reaching out with our content to a wider
spectrum of audience.
• Advertisement hoardings, matrimonial
advertisements were limited to newspapers
and magazine sections.

5. 1991-2002
• Middle class India not yet with access to
the power of content except for chat and
a few websites.
• Economic boom = more businesses =
more competition= the need to stand
out.
• Digital content marketing strategies need
to stand out as well.

7. What happened?
• A blog is an honest opinion of a common citizen and
hence the reliability and relatability. This opinion is
now valued so much that brands, news portals, want
to piggy back on it.
• News is not what it used to be. Blogs and non-
traditional news sources are seen for the audiences
they have (and can transfer!). The mainstream
media, still bleeding after the onslaught of cable and
the internet, crave the attention that blogs already
have. Media websites also need traffic in order to
hold on to their advertisers. (Source:

11. Opportunities
• Content can be anything – text, video, image,

fade away.
• Abundance of content = abundance of
mediocre content
• Good content will always command high
value.
