It is safe to say that it is not the world that it was fifty years ago. It may even be safe to say that it is not the world that it was only ten or five years ago. The advances in technology and social media have changed the way in which we, as individuals, communicate with one another. New technology has changed how we shop and how we perceive advertisements. No longer must you walk up and down the aisles of the department store to buy a new sweater for fall; with the click of a button from the comfort of your home that same sweater can be yours – you never have to leave the house. At the same time, these advances have changed the way that companies and organizations conduct their marketing. While repetition remains a constant in advertising success, the changing and evolving landscape of technology helps to form how you find and reach your audience.

At Your Disposal
Think of media planning tools the same way that you might think of the old toolbox sitting in the shed or garage. Each tool that you use has a function and is made to fulfill a specific purpose.
