Digital marketing vs traditional marketing

Since the beginning of our existence, humans have been social creatures, using any means at their disposal to communicate thoughts, ideas, visions, opinions and values to all who would listen. They have used hands and voices to speak and write, paint and shape, mold and design, and in doing it, they have often relied on an intermediary as pigment and papyrus, to transmit thoughts and visions into a physical medium that would store them for later observation, review, or sharing.

1 Communications media have grown in both sophistication and impact over time, inventions such as the printing press, phonograph, magnetic tape recorder, and motion picture let human increase social connection to an exponential level, allowing a single person or group to share their thoughts and vision with millions across the world.

Indeed, it is fair to say that communications media have always played a role in shaping human cultures, although their relative influence has been largely dependent on external geographical and technological factors.

The great religious doctrines, artistic masterpiece, writings, all eventually become iconic treasures recognized and enjoyed all over the world but it often took time, decades, centuries or even millennia in some cases, that because have been dependent on an analog distillation process often controlled by a select group of intermediaries and constrained by the limitations of geographical distance and existing technology to reach their greatest cultural import.
