Over the past years, the internet has evolved from a static to a social platform. This evolution has an impact on the way consumers communicate and take purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, most advertisers have failed to evolve along.
Traditional advertising no longer works. Advertisers need to change their day- to-day working methods. The gap between the contemporary consumer and the traditional advertiser is growing on a daily basis.
This era is not the end of the advertising market, though it is the end of the advertiser!

Marketeers need to change their behaviour today in order to remain competitive in the next few years. All marketeers I meet today at conferences and events agree that the consumer is changing, but my frustration is that marketeers are not changing. We have 48 hours to take action!
