Social Media Marketing Agency
In no other marketing space has there been a buzz recently as it has been in social media. From startups to solopreneurs to SMEs to large corporate, everyone wants a piece of social pie. At the heart of social media lays the strategic need to engage and interact with your audience - to update, to entertain, to gratify, to simulate their behavior. No wonder, social scientists reckon social media to be a transitional phrase in their studies of anthropology.
Till a few decades ago, TV was the big behemoth, or dare we call it the Goliath of advertising, till the seeds of social David were sown, and it became an infallibile giant. Today, right from movie teasers to product launches happen first on social media. Studies show that in 2021 more than 50% of the world would have accessed the Internet, and it is expected to grow even faster after that. In India alone, with its much-abused bandwidth and penetration issues, the mobile data usage has increased more than 4 times in the past 4 years. WIth cheaper data plans, and affordable smart phones, expect the numbers to rise even more meteorically in the coming years.
So, what is happening with data consumption and unprecedented Internet access? You might have guessed it right. It is the dawn of the Netflix and Uber and social networks of the world that mobiles have become utility vehicles and not just communication or entertaining modems. Whether it is your travel website or cab booking app, they give an opportunity to interact, rate and choose your options. Take your pick!
With so many users (I dare not put numbers) in mobile apps and social websites, it is a marketing opportunity of magnanimous proportions for marketers to cross-sell, drive traffic and engage with their audiences. The usual suspects in Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn are driving traffic in millions on daily basis. The millennial are clearly spending more time on social media than traditional entertaining media such as TV or Radio.
