Back in the early 2000, it was enough for a company to manufacture and market its products through available media – which was print media. And, all they were concerned about was the reaction of the general public which came in way after the product had well penetrated the market. And often, even if the product reviews weren’t positive by the general public, companies could get away with just investing upon reviews and ratings by influential people as advertisement through print media was often beyond the reach of the ordinary man. The associated cost of publishing also kept many individuals out of the scenario. And, any media coverage mandated widespread outrage. But, the situation now in the year 2018 has transformed immensely. With digital disruptions, it is the effective digital intelligence a company can count upon for its very existence in the market. And, with emerging social media – a form of digital media, enabling worldwide connectivity almost free and within th...
