f4mmedia provides marketing, branding, and content creation services to small businesses. They introduce the concept of responsive marketing, which adapts marketing campaigns based on changes in audience behavior and attention across different channels over time. Responsive marketing uses a variety of media and places appropriately created content in relevant channels to engage audiences with "conversational" marketing rather than one-size-fits-all campaigns.
