Advertising media planning

It could be argued that the digital revolution and the Internet changed all that— words, pictures, moving pictures, and interactivity are all just different kinds of digital media that have converged on the three screens of video: the television set, the personal computer, and the nearly ubiquitous mobile cell phone. The nature of the content has changed also. In addition to professionally produced material, usergenerated content populates YouTube, social networks, blogs, Wikipedia, Twitter, and new media forms are emerging every day. The Internet gives users the ability to search for and retrieve in seconds information about virtually any subject on earth, creating the opportunity to deliver advertising to people with a demonstrated interest in the product or service.But the digital world is constantly changing.
