All Media Must Be Digital
All media that wishes to build Brand advocates and engage must do much more ...It must be mobile.
It must be Spontaneous – Use your Smartphone
It must have added multimedia value (bonus material)
It must be easy to access
It must be easy to download/stream
It must do more than simply being a digital version of the traditional message
It must be able to make itself more shareable, findable and social
Where there is value, there are consumers willing to share it.
