Digital Disruption!
Keeping up with technological change in our current time is becoming critical for businesses. Technology and Digital Media’s rapid change has placed businesses in the ‘Digital Age’ whether we realise this or are still accepting it. We know that traditional business models are now antiqued.
Everything starts with online whether we look for a new home, plan our next local or international adventure, connect with our family and friends via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram. Businesses use LinkedIn to gain industry acknowledgment via thought leadership and LinkedIn’s growth clearly demonstrates the power of people’s opinions on relevant information searching within their community or profession.
Brands like Google, Facebook, YouTube, eBay, Apple & Yahoo are now owning the Brand Engagement space and are driving our need for online interactions.
