In the past, the most successful brands rolled out a shiny and beautiful campaign once a year. It consisted of a few television commercials or maybe a series of magazine ads. However, this all changed with the introduction of the internet in the 1990s. The internet completely changed how advertisers produced and distributed media to the public.

This pressure from customers and the industry propelled companies to transition quicker to digital marketing, but companies stayed because they found that it was more cost effective than traditional marketing. Digital marketing costs 62% less than traditional marketing and generates about three times as many leads, a promising return for any sales team (Brooks). Over the past decade the most prominent changes to marketing tactics have been the speed, relevance and reach of campaigns (Benady). Companies can now respond to changes in the market very quickly, by simply posting to social media or running an ad online the following week. Processes that used to last months, can now be executed almost instantaneously, forcing campaigns to be integrated well across all platforms to ensure a campaign’s immediate success (Benady). As digital marketing progressed, campaigns have changed and morphed into using less and less recognizable ads. In 2018, the more an ad “does not look, sound, read or resemble an ad, the better” (Rezvani). This could explain the reason why keyword ads and sponsored content has become so popular. The ads appear in a user’s feed automatically, and almost look exactly like the content they have liked already, making it easier to

Humans are social creatures and have become increasingly susceptible to suggestion in the modern era of technology; free information. Their thoughts and opinions are strongly based on what they hear and see around them. For that very reason, advertisements have become an important tool for corporations to use in order to get their products and services across to their buyers.

Francis Aguilar (1967) is the first known reference to the origin of the PESTEL analysis. In his study known as Scanning the Business Environment, he studied the environmental factors that affect business environment and come up with the first acronym ‘ETPS’ which meant the Economic, Technical, Political and social factors (Aguilar, 1967).

According to Collins (1997),
Does social media have a positive impact on society Social media, a form of electronic communication channel which is useful for sharing information, pictures, personal texts, ideas, is one of the most popular technologies today. However, in recent years, the question of whether social media is a positive or negative trend has been raised. Although some people argue that social media has a negative impact on society, I believe that social media is beneficial for society in a number of ways.

In the past, most people used phones and letters for communicating with others; they were not an effective way of communication because they were time consuming and not instant.
