Advancing in the Digital Age of Communications
We live in the emerging digital age of communications, and it seems as though everyday there is a new technological breakthrough that may have very serious business implications for creators and providers of entertainment product and content. The advertising and marketing industries are continually reevaluating the effectiveness of their consumer product advertising and marketing campaigns in light of the ever increasing numbers of technologically savvy consumers moving away from more traditional print publications and television, and turning to the Internet and other new media delivery systems.
