Senior Project Research Paper: Interactive Media Marketingaewebb
Interactive media marketing has evolved from minimal use before 1980 to becoming a dominant form of advertising today. It began with early developments in two-way communication through TVs and computers in 1994. By 2004, interactive media marketing sales reached $110 billion, far surpassing traditional advertising sales. Currently, the internet allows advertisers to target specific audiences efficiently and track user behavior. Interactive media has also become crucial for companies during economic downturns as it provides a low-cost alternative to traditional marketing. Looking to the future, interactive media marketing is predicted to influence 80% of consumer spending by 2015 as internet usage continues to grow globally.

Understanding Online Consumer Purchase Behaviour for Varied Consumer Clusters...inventionjournals
: We are living in a digital age. The wave of digitalisation is in full swing to make its presence felt
in every sphere of life. It has not just challenged the geographical limitations narrowing the gaps between the
places that are situated faraway from each other and made the life easier with huge number of facilities but has
also influenced our attitudes and values. In such a situation, online shopping has started emerging as a popular
shopping option among urban and modernised consumers. Not all the consumers show similar trends while
using ecommerce. People of different clusters have different comfort zones as far as online shopping behaviour
is concerned. Product preferences vary with a change in demographics. Level of satisfaction is also different for
different set of consumers. Though window shopping is no longer an alien concept even for the internet
immigrants, purpose of use is certainly different for every age group. Literatures reveal that the attractive
features of the medium have tempted many researchers from time to time to throw light on lesser known areas
but there is still much to be explored. This paper is an endeavour to study about the potential of the medium to
market consumer electronics analysing in details the electronic shopping behaviour of different age groups. A
random survey has been conducted among the people of the age group of 19 – 35 (n – 100) and the samples
have been divided into four groups 19 – 22, 23 -26, 27 – 30 and 30 – 35. Reactions have been studied through
a questionnaire containing close ended questions. Analysis of data has been done through data graphs
Extracting Targeted Users from SNS using Data Mining ApproachIJSRD
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using data mining clustering algorithms on social network data to identify targeted users for internet advertising. Specifically, it involves gathering post and comment data from a Facebook brand page, preprocessing the data by tokenizing, stemming, and removing stop words. Then a clustering algorithm will classify the posts and comments into categories to discover influential users. The goal is to develop a systematic technique to improve marketing strategies and target key users for online advertisements using insights from social network data and data mining.
This document provides an overview of programmatic media, highlighting how the adoption of programmatic technologies has forced traditional media buying to restructure around audience data. It discusses the early development of programmatic, the influx of ad tech companies, and how programmatic is currently practiced through automated guaranteed buys, private marketplaces, open exchanges, and header bidding. The future of programmatic is expected to include cross-device targeting, addressing ad fraud and ad blockers, and shifting media dollars toward inventory innovation like native ads, dynamic creative, television, and out of home.
This document summarizes a literature review on the use of social media as a marketing tool. It begins by defining key terms related to social media and marketing, such as social media marketing, virtual brand communities, and factors that influence consumer attitudes. It then examines four main themes in current research: virtual brand communities and how they can influence consumer behavior; how consumer attitudes and motives are affected by social media use; the role of user-generated content; and the use of viral advertising. The review notes gaps in research, such as a lack of studies on the long-term promotional benefits of social media marketing for retailers.
The document is a major project essay that analyzes whether the decline of mass media will lead to a shift from brand building through advertising to public relations based on conversation and relationships. It first evaluates evidence around the decline of mass media and advertising, finding that while mass media is changing with new online formats, there is no clear evidence it is declining. It then examines how advertising has adapted to the online environment through targeted and social ads. While advertising has grown online, consumers now have more control over ads and word-of-mouth is important for brands. The essay concludes that brands are focusing on engaging consumers through social media to develop relationships and conversations in order to build their brands.
Digital marketing is the marketing of products or services using digital technologies like the internet, mobile apps, and other digital mediums. It began developing in the 1970s and became more widely used in the 1990s as technology advanced. Some key aspects of digital marketing include using platforms like social media to engage customers, gather data on customer behavior to gain a competitive advantage, and targeting ads to individual users based on their online activity and interests. Digital tools have made promotional strategies more personalized and data-driven.
The document discusses emerging trends in social media and new media. It covers the evolution from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, and the rise of user-generated content through social media platforms. It also discusses how various technologies like videos, wikis, folksonomies, RSS feeds, mashups, and widgets are being used increasingly in business. Companies are adapting to changing consumer behaviors and the opportunities of social media.
The aim of this study was to determine consumer segments based on the acceptance of
shoppable ads from fashion brands on online social media platforms. To achieve this objective, we
used the technology acceptance model (TAM) to offer a vision of the perceptions of the shoppable
ads, attitudes and behaviors of social network users, using social media marketing activities as
a background. Second, we searched for fashion social buyer segments using finite mixture partial
least squares (FIMIX-PLS). Third, we sought to characterize these consumer segments. A sample
of 486 users of social networks who accessed through mobile devices was obtained. The inclusion
of social media marketing variables as antecedents of acceptance allowed us, to a large extent, to
understand the intention to buy clothing by these social media users.
This document summarizes a research article about the impact of digital marketing on consumer behavior in Bangladesh. It begins with an abstract, introduction and literature review on digital marketing and its growth. It then outlines the study's objectives and methodology, which included surveys and interviews.

The document discusses an integrated marketing communications plan for Glamz Boutique, a women's clothing store. The plan involves using various promotional tools in a coordinated way to communicate the store's message and achieve its objectives. Specifically, the plan includes increasing brand awareness through advertising, social media marketing, and public relations efforts. It also aims to boost sales and generate new customers through promotions, events, and loyalty programs. The integrated approach across multiple channels is intended to reinforce the brand's message and maximize promotional impact.
The evolution of the internet has shifted the equilibrium between brands and consumers by enabling individuals to actively search for information about products online rather than having information pushed to them by brands. The development of technologies like smartphones, tablets, and voice assistants has enabled the "brick-to-click" movement where consumers increasingly prefer online purchasing over physical stores. This poses challenges for businesses to utilize digital marketing across various online platforms and respond to this shift to digital consumption. The future expansion of the Internet of Things will continue to be driven by the demands of key demographics like Gen Z who are influenced by online reviews and value convenience when making purchase decisions online.

This document discusses the emergence of people-based marketing as a solution to issues with digital advertising. People-based marketing uses first-party data to directly target individuals across devices and channels, unlike cookies which are tied to browsers. Major players like Google and Facebook have benefited from implementing people-based marketing within their own walled gardens using logged-in user data. The document argues that people-based marketing could simplify the supply chain and lead advertising to focus on real business outcomes rather than proxies like impressions. Identity solutions will be important to enable people-based marketing at scale across the wider digital ecosystem.

Advertising in the Age of New Media
According to Mulhern (2009), media is experiencing a digital revolution which is
liberating news, information, and advertising from the confines of traditional print and
broadcast delivery systems. While the differences between traditional advertising and
the new world of digital communications are numerous, none is greater than that
between the concept of communications focusing upon the delivery of messages via
media channels and that of communications involving an entire world of networks,
algorithms and automated systems, specifically designed to facilitate and manage the
connections between information (products) and people. Naturally, as in traditional
advertising, creative content remains at the center of these communications. However,
with the advent of automated advertising networks (e.g. Google search advertising) and
data-driven ad placement mechanisms, corporate media planning will begin to resemble
business logistics instead of simple advertisement placement. This revolution may pose
significant challenges to those media companies, agencies, and brand marketers who
have focused their efforts on sending advertisements to target audiences through
traditional media channels without investing the time and effort to learn how to integrate
the data analysis and modeling techniques required of digital media into their marketing
strategies.
The strategy of traditional advertising has long been based upon the notion of
collecting large target audiences and delivering branded messages to them. And while
this practice continues to dominate corporate media spending, a new, parallel world has
been evolving which utilizes search engines, spiders, social networks, cloud computing
and algorithms designed to filter and serve (push) information. Those marketing
3. Advertising in the Age of New Media 3
professionals who continue to emphasize branding and creative work at the expense of
data, metrics, quantitative models and digital technology will find themselves on the
sidelines (Plummer, Rappaport, Hall, & Barocci, 2007).
Clearly, the manner in which information may now be digitized and broadcast
through various network outlets is introducing new methods by which marketing
communications may be utilized to connect consumers and products. For example,
while the Internet offers several advantages over traditional advertising methods (cost
and virtually unlimited advertising space), its most significant advantage rests in the
ability to function as both a sales and distribution channel (Nagar, 2009).
This literature review begins by examining those characteristics of the networked
information economy in which this digital revolution in advertising takes place. Next, it
presents a framework which may well serve as a roadmap through the landscape of
new media marketing. This review continues by investigating how basic principles of
advertising may be successfully applied to build and deliver an effective, ubiquitous
digital campaign utilizing this new media environment. Given the numerous channels
available through which one’s message may be delivered, this review focuses on one
specific avenue which offers tremendous opportunities, mobile marketing. The multitude
of ways in which marketers may create brand aligned mobile portals and equipment will
be examined. Finally, this literature review concludes with an examination of new media
marketing from the consumers’ perspective by examining their attitudes towards various
interactive digital advertising venues, such as Internet, email, and mobile phone.
Why is this subject important? Given the relatively recent appearance and growth
of social networking sites such as Twitter and of social media in general, (e.g.
4. Advertising in the Age of New Media 4
Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, and an ever-growing number of blogs), an examination of
how marketing professionals may effectively utilize this trend is extremely relevant to
companies competing in the global marketplace, especially for those seeking to capture
the younger demographic groups. This literature review examines those factors which
have transformed the Internet and other new media technologies into major advertising
mediums.
The Networked Information Economy
So what trends have contributed to the rise of new media? Two fundamental,
technological events have spurred these changes. The first event involves the digital
codifying of information which has been occurring since the early 1990s, as printed
material was converted into digital formats for use in web pages and other electronic
files. The second event involves the global networking of that information. Once
information was digitized and networked, the stage was set for the rise of what Benkler
(2006) refers to as the networked information economy. Within this new information
orientated economy, digital, networked media allows: “(1) the production and distribution
of information through nonproprietary processes much like those in the arts, education
and sciences; (2) a blend of market and nonmarket mechanisms for making information
available to the public; and (3) large-scale, cooperative efforts that generate output from
many providers, best exemplified by wikis” (Mulhern, 2009, p. 87). In contrast to the
mass production activities which dominated the twentieth century, Mulhern provides a
detailed analysis regarding those characteristics associated with this networked
information economy: infinite reproduction and sharing, modularity of content, consumer
5. Advertising in the Age of New Media 5
networks, user-control and content production, customized content, information
streams, and advertising as a service.
Print media (e.g. newspapers and magazines) may only be consumed while in
the physical possession of a reader. Television may only be watched when someone is
sitting in front of it. In the digital world, content is not only free from such constraints, but
may also be copied and repeatedly shared at little (if any) cost and without any
degradation in quality. This capability for infinite reproduction demolishes the traditional
business model of making money by selling duplicated content (Mulhern, 2009).
As consumers, we are accustomed to seeing news, entertainment, and
advertising bundled together into neat packages for our viewing pleasure. However, a
digital infrastructure allows these individual pieces to become unattached. For example,
a news story may be unbundled from a specific media (e.g. newspaper) and delivered
separately. As such, an advertisement may be packaged with the story without ever
being attached to a newspaper. Therefore, one need not buy an entire newspaper for
one story and still be exposed to the advertisement. This approach allows
advertisements to become modular and associated with pieces of information which are
of interest to specific customers. Customers benefit because they no longer have to
wade through extraneous material in order to reach the content in which they are
interested (Mulhern, 2009).
While consumers are known to function within social networks, the capability to
monitor their tribe-like behavior has not been available, until now. Internet-enabled
technology provides social graphs which depict interpersonal communication patterns,
6. Advertising in the Age of New Media 6
identifying those social clusters which make the purchase decisions and allowing
marketers to more readily identify their target audiences (Mulhern, 2009).
Previously, content was created by producers in centralized environments and
disseminated by distributors; new technologies now allow individual consumers to
control what information they receive and produce their own content to share with
others. And once consumers are in control of the content, they may produce whatever
consumption experience they wish. As such, media content and its advertisements will
become customized, not by the media corporations, but instead by individual users.
This trend forces marketing groups to shift from aggregating complete packages for
large audiences, to responding with relevant, targeted information (Mulhern, 2009).
One of the major side effects from the digitization of content is the continuous
stream of data regarding how consumers interact with this wealth of information.
Whereas marketing decisions had been based upon relatively small samples of
information gleaned from various surveys, this torrent of digital data will transform
marketing and qualitative research by replacing static techniques with those utilizing
dynamic data (Mulhern, 2009).
While advertisement placement had been determined by fairly sophisticated
software, the digitization of media has enabled an even higher degree of automaton
with respect to the allocation of advertising. Algorithms have been developed which
place ads based upon key word matches identified within search terms or content within
web pages. These advances have spawned the advent of advertising-supported search
engines, online maps, and social networking sites. This business model of providing
free service coupled with relevant advertising acknowledges the consumers’ (1)
7. Advertising in the Age of New Media 7
reluctance to pay for what they consider to be free information and (2) propensity to pay
for ancillary services and products from sources they trust. Thus, the strategy becomes
one of matching digital services with advertisements that provide brand connectivity
(Mulhern, 2009).
A Framework for New Media Marketing
Marketing via new and traditional media is not the same, as new media is
capable of extending advertising functions significantly beyond the capabilities of
traditional media. While offering promise, this path towards new media marketing is also
fraught with peril. Merely utilizing the latest display, mobile, streaming video, gaming,
and social media technologies is not enough. A framework must be developed which
not only addresses the growing sophistication among consumers with respect to
advertising, but also emphasizes the delivery of value rather than simply repeated
product exposures. Kim (2008) provides such an advertising framework, one which
focuses on consumer contexts and mindsets and how they may be effectively
connected with these new campaign delivery vehicles.
Kim’s (2008) framework is based upon acknowledging the increasing levels of
sophistication and skepticism exhibited by consumers towards media and advertising.
The main problem for advertisers is their adherence to a tradition in which the primary
strategy for delivering marketing messages is based upon interrupting their customers’
daily lives whether they are trying to enjoy a television show, read a newspaper, or even
wait for a bus. Delivering value is not part of the marketing strategy; however, grabbing
the consumers’ attention is. Well, times are changing and the advent of digital media
provides a new canvas from which immersive experiences may be painted. Kim
8. Advertising in the Age of New Media 8
believes that taking a more intelligent and sophisticated approach will actually prompt
the skeptical public to ask for more advertising to be inserted into their media.
Citing the gaming world as a prime example, Kim (2008) observes numerous
examples in which advertising combined with reality-oriented games is not only viewed
as acceptable, but is actually seen as making the gaming experience more realistic and
hence more fun. One example of effective product placement within digital reality
involves Tony Hawk American Wasteland where players skateboard through urban
landscapes dotted with advertising placements for CPG beverages, various
entertainment brands, and the game version of Desperate Housewives. Players even
find Daimler-Chrysler automobiles parked in front of their digital homes. According to
Kim, these are examples of campaigns which not only produce a noticeable,
quantitative lift in brand recognition for those products and services featured in games
such as this, but also provide a positive qualitative experience for the gamers.
Campaigns such as these are successful because the advertising is embedded directly
into the medium, providing a seamless experience between product and marketing,
while producing value for the customer. Even more remarkable according to Kim,
participants in research surveys request that manufacturers increase this form of
advertising in their games. Kim believes the success of this mode of advertising among
an advertising-skeptical demographic (gamers) strongly indicates the potential for an
approach which aims to deliver value instead of interruption.
This concept of delivering value carries significant implications with respect to the
development of both media strategy and creative message content. Even though the
majority of global advertisers recognize the need to leverage and incorporate digital
9. Advertising in the Age of New Media 9
media into their marketing packages, very few have either the actual experience or
expertise to effectively deploy these new methods. Kim (2008) suggests the key to
successfully adapting advertising to these new media forms is to develop a keen
understanding regarding customer mindsets and expectations relative to each media
format. For example, by applying this value-added approach to a relatively standard
medial presentation vehicle such as the Internet, advertisers may not only begin to
evaluate their strategies in terms of audience reach and time spent (today’s standard
metrics) but also gain an insight into their audience’s motivation and mindset. Exercises
such as this provide valuable lessons and guidance as to how advertising campaigns
within each type of vehicle should be designed and implemented.
Kim (2008) concludes his research with his forecasts as to where technology
may lead us in the coming years. The author expects hardware performance to continue
increasing, giving our computers, mobile devices, and other devices more speed,
greater capacity, and more reliability. These advances will present marketers with even
more robust and ubiquitous platforms from which to reach out with their messages.
Additionally, these improvements will allow the creation of more creative and complex
advertising messages (or even better, experiences). Speaking of ubiquitous, those
continuous, fast, and reliable Internet connections represent an integral component with
respect to the future of new media advertising. Increasing Internet access translates into
a medium which becomes an increasing part of consumers’’ lives. As broadband
continues its global penetration, advertisers will gain significantly increased access into
new markets via a medium which becomes evermore persistent. The advent of cloud
computing and its vast storage capacity offers customers access to virtually unlimited
10. Advertising in the Age of New Media 10
volumes of information. As consumers shift the methods in which they store their
photos, movies, television shows, and other personal information, additional avenues
could well appear by which advertisers may reach potential customers. Information and
device management should become more intuitive and easier to use as speech
recognition, touchscreen, and tablet personal computer technologies continue evolving.
This increase in usability will directly translate into increased usage and flexibility
regarding the manner in which information is disseminated and shared. As keyboards
recede into memory, users will interface with their digital devices via the spoken work,
touching a screen, or perhaps even moving their bodies. (Actually, we have these
capabilities now with HP all-in-one touchscreen computers and the Nintendo Wii.)
Advances in user interface design will open up new digital opportunities for a wider
audience (consider the very young and old), as well as access to new places (such as
automobiles). And finally, perhaps the most important trend within the digital landscape
is the emergence of social media. Even at this relatively early juncture, the user base for
blogging, tweeting, and networking websites has evolved far past the original,
stereotypical teenagers who first flocked to sites like MySpace and Facebook. The
increased activity of the 25-34-year-old audience and white-collar professionals in social
media outlets present an extremely attractive demographic with which to draw the
attention of advertisers.
Indeed, technologies and the manner in which they are utilized will continue to
evolve. As such, advertisers must remain flexible and open-minded in order to take
advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.
Techniques for New Media Marketing
11. Advertising in the Age of New Media 11
During the past several years, various factors converged contributing to the
Internet’s status as a major advertising medium. First, across major markets in the
United States, Europe, and East Asia, significant cross-sections of the population now
have access to the Internet. Second, advances in technology (especially in the realm of
broadband) have allowed the presentation of more media rich content, providing
advertisers with more options for delivering their messages. Third, advertisers began to
realize the great potential of utilizing search engines as advertising vehicles (Taylor,
2009).
Having examined the lessons learned regarding digital advertising on the
Internet, Taylor (2009) proposes six principles which should be applied to new media.
Of these principles, three involve consumer considerations, two relate to implementation
factors, and one involves general advertising philosophy.
Taylor’s (2009) first principle of digital advertising states that “marketers must be
sensitive to consumer concerns about privacy and spam” (p. 413). In today’s era of
iPhones, BlackBerrys, and androids, society functions in an “always on” mode. While
traditional media was delivered in chunks of defined time (e.g. when the television was
turned on), consumers leave their mobile devices on most of the time, if not
continuously. As such, they may be exposed to digital advertising at any time, day or
night. Advertisers need to understand that consumers have reached the stage at which
they consider their mobile devices as extensions of their “personal space.” Therefore,
they become very protective of their extended territory and sensitive to what they
perceive as invasions of privacy by unwanted advertisements. Thus, those advertisers
who simply bombard the public with unwanted messages may experience a backlash
12. Advertising in the Age of New Media 12
from their potential customers, as their annoyance level increases in proportion to the
amount of spam sent their way.
The second principle states that “consumers are more likely to be receptive to
digital ads from marketers they trust” (Taylor, 2009, p. 413). According to Taylor,
corporate and academic research continues to demonstrate that consumers are more
receptive to advertising from those brands which they trust. As a corollary, research has
also shown that consumers would prefer having their service providers screen
advertisers, thus giving them some degree of assurance that an advertisement
originated from a trusted source. According to research, the level of trust held by
consumers with respect to a specific brand plays a significant role in whether that
company’s digital advertising is successful.
The third principle states that “consumers are more likely to be receptive to
respond to digital ads for products that are relevant to them” (Taylor, 2009, p. 414). The
effectiveness of digital advertising is directly related to the relevance of the message
upon the consumer. Research has demonstrated that a MMS message’s perceived
usefulness and relevance is the primary factor as to whether or not it is accepted. Thus,
when operating in an environment where consumers are noticeably sensitive to the
content of their messages, advertisers must ensure their messages are relevant to the
recipient (Pagnani, 2004).
Taylor’s fourth principle states: “approaches that incorporate interactivity are
more likely to be effective” (p. 415). Research into factors influencing website
effectiveness conducted by McMillan, Jang-Sun, and Guiohk (2003) suggests that
interactivity is a key factor of a web site’s success. The Internet possesses the inherent
13. Advertising in the Age of New Media 13
potential to engage consumers for longer periods of time and at a greater depth than
traditional media. Incorporating such features as quizzes, voting, chatting or other
opportunities to provide feedback keeps customers engaged, interested, and returning.
This principle is substantiated by academic research which supports the proposition that
those media outlets which incorporate user interactivity are significantly more successful
than those which do not (Taylor, 2009).
The firth principle states: “advertising messages that are entertaining have a
higher chance of success in the digital context” (Taylor, 2009, p. 415). Messages which
are entertaining tend to be significantly more effective than messages which are not.
Research has demonstrated that advertisements which are entertaining lead to more
positive reactions and subsequent purchases. Therefore, those digital advertisements
which combine interactivity and entertainment have a significant advantage (Taylor,
2009).
The sixth and final principle states that “in the long run, new media messages
need to build the brand to be effective” (Taylor, 2009, p. 416). At a time when product
branding is more important than ever, advertising campaigns must take advantage of
the new media’s unique brand development capability. As Chiagouris and Wansley
(2000) declare, “When it comes to building a brand on the internet, never have so many
talked so little of what may be the internet’s most stunning capacity –strengthening the
brand with customers and prospects” (p. 35). The Internet’s interactive environment
offers corporations an enormous opportunity to build brand awareness and loyalty.
Clearly, new media offers significant advantages with respect to the effective
targeting and engagement of consumers. As such, organizations would be well advised
14. Advertising in the Age of New Media 14
to investigate and evaluate how their advertising campaigns may be tailored to take
advantage of the opportunities offered by this medium.
While the media may be new, some traditional advertising techniques are still
effective. Corporations should know which ones to keep and how they should be
tweaked for maximum effectiveness. Given the pervasiveness of new media in our lives,
Martin and Todorov (2010) discuss how marketing professionals must shift their
perspective from delivering single, standalone touch points to providing engagements
which appear seamless and keep potential customers connected with their brands
throughout the day.
In the early stages of new media, advertisers followed Taylor’s (2009) principles
and focused on developing interactive messages which would be accessible on single
platforms, such as an interactive Web site or perhaps an iPhone application. These
single deployments were designed to fill vertical advertising gaps, those areas where
consumers had not previously been reached. While this strategy may have been initially
successful, it eventually succumbed to an old adversary, the lack of people’s attention
span. People lost interest usually because they had either seen the advertisement
before or the engagement simply took too much time for them to derive any perceived
value. Eventually the novelty surrounding a product’s advertising campaign wears off
and consumers move on to new products and their messages. However, the basic
problems are that novelty does not represent a sustainable marketing strategy and not
all delivery platforms are created equal (Martin & Todorov, 2010).
According to Martin and Todorov (2010), brands must make themselves
immediately relevant in the daily lives of customers. While interactivity is a great
15. Advertising in the Age of New Media 15
concept, advertisers cannot rest on that laurel and must move beyond simply filling
gaps towards creating synergy by providing messages and events which span across
multiple touchpoints and prolong the experience by utilizing different delivery vehicles
though which consumers may experience the brand. Frankly, if the message does not
extend along a continuum of touchpoints, consumers will loose interest and find suitable
substitutes. Therefore, as marketers plan a digital branding strategy, they must be
aware of rich media’s capabilities, various interaction models, and how multiple
platforms may be linked together (via through application program interfaces (APIs) and
Web services) to present a coherent presentation. This connectivity between platforms
and touchpoints is critical for enabling a continuous presentation of the brand’s story
throughout the consumer’s day. By adopting this approach, advertisers may provide
messages which are synchronized with consumers’ locations and activities, thus
creating relevance.
So what qualities should these touchpoints demonstrate? According to Martin
and Todorov (2010), they cannot simply fill gaps of inactivity within someone’s day. The
events must (1) motivate the consumer to begin using it at that very moment of
discovery and (2) provide the consumer with a sense of perceived value. Basically,
touchpoints must grab the consumers’ attention away from the myriad of distractions
they face on a constant basis. The bottom line is that brands fight for customer interest
at every touchpoint; they compete for mindshare. One strategy for capturing mindshare
is to maximize the level of engagement by addressing a need, offering superior
functionality, and providing access to the brand offering. The impact of a brand
engagement is determined by the following five levels:
16. Advertising in the Age of New Media 16
1. The Gag. These messages are usually seen on digital billboards, banners, or
simple Smartphone applications. While they offer entertainment and might even
facilitate a new behavior from the consumer, they are short lived, as the
customer’s attention rapidly moves on elsewhere.
2. Utility. This engagement usually appears as “a calculator, recommendation
engine, price finder, or similar task-oriented feature” (Martin & Todorov, 2010, p.
63). Value must be provided by leveraging contextual data.
3. Social Connectivity. At this level, brands are beginning to extend across multiple
platforms, connecting with consumers, and allowing them to build a social
connection with the brand offering; perhaps the message may even go viral. The
organic nature of the content begins converting consumers into brand
ambassadors.
4. Brand Customization. Customized experiences reflect the consumer’s
individuality, thereby building a stronger affinity and sense of loyalty to the brand.
The brand begins to permeate the customer’s psychology and allows them
personal ownership over the engagement. For the greatest impact, platforms
should be customized with links to social media, allowing customers to show off
their purchases and influence their friends.
5. Brand Lifestyle. The highest level of engagement represents the stage where the
brand provides “everyday services, utilities, customization, and social
ecosystems that enable consumers to truly live the brand” (Martin & Todorov,
2010, p. 64). The ultimate in new media success occurs when a brand creates an
17. Advertising in the Age of New Media 17
environment in which consumers may unite around a common goal, interest, or
feeling.
Consumers usually receive their initial introduction to an engagement via
entertainment, e.g. a game, video, or song. As additional features are added to the
experience, advertisers provide a richer engagement, thereby deepening the consumer
relationship and transforming their offering into a utility which adds value. Over time,
consumers’ perception of these utilities changes as they evolve into tools and then
necessities (Martin &Todorov, 2010).
The Rise of Mobile Marketing
Given the growing marketing opportunities presented by new media, Friedrich,
Gröne, Hölbling, and Peterson (2009) explore one particular area which offers incredible
potential, that of mobile marketing. New business models are being developed which
transform the mobile phone into a marketing platform, as advertisers create brand
specific mobile portals, tailored handsets, and preloaded applications all of which work
in unison to drive home a brand’s message. The technology chain required to
accomplish this strategy is relatively simple. The company which has products or
services to offer contacts a mobile-service provider to establish a mobile brand. The
newly created mobile band attracts not only a company’s traditionally loyal customers,
but also new customers who are drawn by the opportunity to purchase a better service
at a lower price. The net results from this process are the development of more powerful
customer relationships and new streams of revenue.
For marketing professionals, the ubiquitous of this personalized data media
platform provides customers who are more informed, demanding, and focused on their
18. Advertising in the Age of New Media 18
own needs. Mobile marketing provides opportunities for game changing strategies
which are customized towards the individual customer. As such, the target population
has significantly changed to that of one. To measure a brand’s success of reaching this
market segment, customary metrics such as gross reach are no longer relevant and
have been replaced by those measuring digital net reach and cost per transaction
(Friedrich et al., 2009).
Realizing its potential to fundamentally alter the brand customer relationship, the
authors discuss five ways in which mobile platforms outperform all other delivery
channels.
Customer access: The utilization of mobile channels provides what amounts to
continuous access to customers through voice, messaging, and portal platforms.
While the Internet has an advantage to other mediums with respect to access, it
is neither exclusive nor portable. Mobile offers exclusivity and location
independence.
Customer insight: As customers use mobile channels, they provide companies
with a vast range of data to include demographics, communication, social
patterns, and tendencies regarding geographic movement. The authors predict
that eventually shopping history, online store preference, and spending
tendencies will eventually be added to this list of available data.
Customer dialogue: While mobile channels may not offer the media experience
available via home entertainment systems or personal computers, their content-
rich, real-time visual and acoustic messages may be completely customized for
individual consumers. While family members or friends may share computers,
19. Advertising in the Age of New Media 19
the mobile telephone is a uniquely personal device, reflecting the tastes and
interests of its owner. And like the Internet, the mobile phone is interactive,
allowing customers to respond by click, voice, or message.
Customer emotions: A customer’s choice of a mobile device is often a strong
statement regarding their overall lifestyle, indicating an emotional attachment to
their mobile devices that transcends its use as a mere tool. Instead it becomes
an extension of themselves and a part of their everyday lives. As such, these
devices provide a powerful platform for delivering information regarding specific
items, topics, or products relevant to one’s lifestyle. As a result, users of mobile
devices become attached to them in a manner unlike that with their personal
computer.
Customer transactions: Given the lack of physical boundaries associated with
these mobile devices, customers have easy and continuous access to e-
commerce applications in which products and services are only click away.
Additionally, companies may respond to a customer’s interest by instantaneously
pushing new offers or updating prices (Friedrich et al., 2009).
By using these dimensions as guidelines for creating relevant user experiences,
advertisers may provide their customers with more of what they actually desire. As
these devices may actually put a service or products in a consumer’s hand, using
mobile channels immediately enhances a brand’s value.
Haygood (2007) examines how one mobile delivery platform is beginning to
capture the public’s and advertiser’s imagination, podcasting. Even though podcasting
is a relatively new digital phenomenon, it is already changing the manner in which
20. Advertising in the Age of New Media 20
audiences interact with media content. So, how is podcasting different from traditional or
even other new media? Well, podcasting allows consumers to both time-shift and place-
shift their consumption of digital media to a time and location of their choosing, as
content is downloaded onto either a personal computer or other digital listening device.
Thus, the listener has direct control as to when the material is consumed. Therefore,
many creators of digital content believe that podcasting will change the public’s habits
as to how new media is consumed, thus leading to a shift in how advertisers reach their
customers.
The initial question becomes why (given the numerous alternatives) marketers
would be interested in using podcasts as an advertising medium. Well, research has
demonstrated that those who download podcasts represent the target audience that
advertisers find so appealing: “well educated, high incomes, technologically astute, and
at ease interacting with others and with information on the internet” (p. 519, Haygood,
2007). Thus, the follow-up question is whether advertises are using podcasting to reach
this lucrative audience. Studies indicate that advertising on podcasts is not an extensive
practice, appearing on approximately only a third of selected video and audio podcasts.
And for those podcasts which contained advertising, the average number of messages
was only slightly over two, signifying that marketers have yet to fully embrace this new
outlet. The number two also reflects the current strategy utilized by a majority of podcast
advertisers. Research indicates that 75 percent of advertisements are placed at the
beginning and ending of podcasts, serving as bookends to the primary content. In this
manner, podcast producers are positioning their advertisers as “sponsors,” a model
which closely mirrors that found on many public radio or television programs where
21. Advertising in the Age of New Media 21
protecting the integrity of a program’s flow is preserved by limiting commercial
interruptions. While advertising via podcasts is not yet an extensive practice, it does
appear in a wide variety of programs and primarily involves communication,
entertainment, and internet products and services, such as satellite radio, DVDs, web
hosting, and DSL services (Haygood, 2007).
While still in its infancy, podcast related marketing offers one significant
advantage in that a commercial message may be paired with program content which is
strongly related to the product or service being advertised. As such, advertisers are
assured of reaching their target audience and taking advantage of the synergy created
by matching highly correlated messages and content (Haygood, 2007).
The Consumers’ Perspective
Clearly, in order to take advantage of the opportunities presented by new media,
corporations should be aware as to which delivery channels consumers are more
responsive. Cheng, Blankson, Wang, and Chen (2009) examine consumer attitudes
regarding three specific interactive venues (Internet, email, and mobile-phone) to
determine whether consumers find their use as sources of advertising to be informative,
entertaining, or irritating. For their research, the authors select a sample population of
Taiwanese university students, as they are provided free access to the Internet, to
include emailing, web surfing, and Skype access. Additionally, mobile phone usage is
relatively high among the student population and this segment is considered a major
market within the mobile telecommunications industry.
From their survey, Cheng et al. (2009) discover that while consumers’ attitudes
towards Internet and mobile phone based advertising are more positive than those
22. Advertising in the Age of New Media 22
regarding email advertising, neither medium is considered to be highly entertaining.
Overall, email advertisements are viewed as less informative, entertaining, and
significantly more irritating than those from other two mediums. Therefore, the authors
suggest that advertisers develop new, more creative methods for using the Internet and
mobile devices to increase their messages’ entertainment value. One suggestion which
may have merit involves the combination of internet and mobile advertising campaigns
into adventure type games in order to increase the content’s entertainment value.
Zia (2009) augments the study conducted by Cheng et al. (2009) by narrowing
his focus to the examination of customers’ attitudes towards email as an advertising
medium. Zia’s proposition is that consumers expect advertising to be entertaining and
informative. Indeed, entertainment is a critical factor as consumers expect advertising to
be concise and humorous. As such, emails which provide interactive games and prizes
keep consumers engaged, encouraging them to at least become familiar with the
product or service being advertised. Advertising delivered via email must also be
accurate, timely, and useful. Above all, consumers want the message to be tailored to
their specific interests. And finally, consumers must find the advertising creditable in that
it conveys an impression of truthfulness and believability. However, as Ducoffe (1996)
warns, “When advertising employs techniques that annoy, offend, insult or are overly
manipulative, consumers are likely to perceive it as unwanted and irritating influence”
(P. 23). Clearly, the annoyance that results from unintelligible and unwanted email
reflects poorly upon the originator and significantly diminishes its value as a marketing
tool.
23. Advertising in the Age of New Media 23
These authors propose that by understanding these attitudes, designers and
marketers may develop more effective advertising campaigns. As such, advertisers
(regardless of the medium) must design their campaigns to provide the requisite levels
of entertainment, information, and creditability. These advertisements must also be
targeted to specific audiences who will appreciate the information rather then become
irritated by what they consider spam.
Conclusion
As digital media increasingly becomes part of everyday life, the opportunities for
advertisers to interact with their customers will dramatically expand. This trend will
continue, as media grows to encompass not only mobile phones, iPods, iPads, and
video games, but also microwave ovens, refrigerators, electronic billboards, and even
automobiles. As advertising channels spread across all things digital, organizations will
not only have unparallel access to current and potential customers, but also a myriad of
new ways in which to spread their messages. The challenge for both academics and
practitioners is to establish the requisite theories, concepts, and methods which will
serve to sculpt this new digital landscape into a networked ecosystem in which these
communications may thrive (Mulhern, 2009).
