Why Digital Marketing Matters

Remember billboards ? I do.

As a young kid in Jakarta, my experiences from the back seat of our car mostly alternated between : "Mom, when are we there?" and "Uh, look, McDonald's can we go?"  whenever one of thoose 10-foot billboards popped up on the side of the road.

Growing up with Indian parents, the answer to both of thoose would, most times, be the same : "not yet."

Sometimes, big brands would even start a billboards war, like this one between Audi and BMW, which got quite a few laughs:


In 2015, a ton of my clients still spent hundreds of millions of dollars on billboards advertising.

Unfortunately or fortunately, billboards advertising is mostly dead.

Just think of it this way : Google and Facebook generate more revenue than any traditional media company because they control more eyeballs. That's why digital marketing matters; it's where the attention is.

The reason why billboards, like the ones above, will die, is because the future of diving will look like this :

Although driverless cars already exist, drivers still have to pay attention; in the future, as the technology improves, not a single passenger will spend thier time looking at the road.

Do me a favor, the next time you drive and are giving a friend a ride, take a peek at the passenger seat.

Just for a second.

Even now, chances are they'll be looking at their phone.

If no one is looking at the road anymore, who's supposed to see those advertisements?

What's more : the share of people spending more time using electronic devices continues to rise, while print advertising continues to decline.

That means you don't have much time to figure out this digital marketing stuff before you can power down your old school printing press and close up shop.
