What is the difference between launching a brand in today’s digital era versus earlier?
Traditional advertising is extinct. Television and radio, for example, have suffered greatly because of the numerous streaming options available. It’s not because of anything they’ve done; it’s because people are transitioning to the internet. They no longer watch television when they can watch the same show without commercials on the online platform.
The digital era has changed the way firms sell their products. It has radically changed the playing ground. Therefore, businesses must modify their methods to target their clients. It has expanded the reach of small firms while demanding more from big enterprises.
