The Death of Traditional Marketing While the theories and principles of traditional marketing are still taught and the foundations of awareness, lead generation and brand affiliation remain, the practice of marketing has dramatically changed.
Consumers are becoming immune to the blanket-approach of traditional advertising. They want it personalised and expect a brand to really work for their attention now. In return, they spend their money with businesses they trust, businesses that have been recommended by someone they trust, or are seen to be socially “accepted”.
Our world is becoming remarkably different at a rapid pace. Today, we’re all online. From shopping, to education and most importantly social communication, the old antiquated method of marketing is almost extinct. Companies can no longer throw their logo in-front of consumers on TV or radio and expect a result. Today, they’re watching Netflix and listening to their own music via Bluetooth in the car.

With instant access, the ability to target with pinpoint accuracy, the ability to update Ad copy immediately and results tracking, why would you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in traditional advertising just to sit back and wonder who saw it and if the effort really made a difference to your bottom line?
