THE MODERN CONSUMER.

Pre Digital Consumer
There was not much dialogue between the consumer and brand, in general the consumer was powerless.

Limited in choice, supply, information, price, negotiation, dialogue and the ability to redress.

OLD MARKETING

ONE WAY MESSAGE. Interruptive mass appeal, expensive, hard to measure, low return of investment.

Modern Consumer
Developed over the last decade, the modern consumer is connected, active, mobile, engaged, open, impatient, demanding, powerful.

Brands would appear out of nowhere, you can know what people think about it and instantly start to engage with it.

Greater choice, supply.
GLOBAL MARKET...faster manufacturing, improved logistics.

NEW MARKETING

TWO WAY MESSAGE. Interactive, targeted, mobile, efficient, fluid, reactive, effective.

Methods which justify this - creating a dialogue, informing NOT selling, informed by consumer, led by consumer research, time sensitive, location based, price.

SHARED VALUES - trust, authenticity, community, integrity, respect, involvement.
