Marketing Has Evolved• The Evolution of Marketing: Traditional to Digital
marketing• In the old days, every time you paid for an ad you
knew that it lived for as long as your audience would see it. In print, this meant in a daily newspaper or a monthly issue of your favourite magazine. On the Radio or TV, this meant a predetermined rotation period for your ad.
• New (digital) media changed all that for good.
