Marketing for the now & the Future
Digital Advantage
The biggest advantage of digital media advertising is its ability to precisely target potential customers. By using big data available on digital media, you can create specific campaigns for specific target audiences. Digital media can even optimize for what target audience or message is performing better. This means that none of your advertising budget is used efficiently and effectively.
Digital media is now and the future and it’s where your consumers are. 81% of people said they have used Instagram to research a product/service before purchase. Facebook has 2,740 million active users. People spend 52 minutes per day on TikTok. YouTube is the second most popular website in the world.

Since 2018 more money has been spent on digital advertising compared to traditional media advertising. This is because of digital marketing’s ability to reach more people at a lower cost with more precision. Watch the video below to gain a deeper insight into how digital marketing works.
Why Traditional Marketing Isn’t Enough Anymore
Traditional media is great at reaching a broad and generally older demographic. This may be what you need, however for most businesses this is not the case. Most of your advertising budget in traditional media reaches people outside your target market. Unlike digital media, it is difficult for traditional media to track analytics unless you do a special promo code.
Digital media marketing makes sure none of your advertising budget is wasted and gets your message in front of your target audience. Digital media also tracks detailed analytics such as engagements, watch time, and click links. This makes it really easy to see how your advertising is performing.
