marketing

Aware of their rights and their power

of choice, alert,

informed, critical, thanks to the

wealth of information that can be

accessed

Partecipating in the communication process of the company

Consumption as a representation of self-identity

Need of new stimuli, the classic strategies above the line are no longer effective

Purposes are not only economic

Partner instead of target with

reciprocal relationship

Partners co-determine business communication by providing their

feedback

Post modern marketing:

Power in the hands of the target

Feedback as foundation for communication

Be communication vs Make communication

Share moments of life vs Inculcate life styling

Communication agency:

Act as a bridge between companies and

consumers, by choosing a type of instant

communication,

creating new strategies in order to

be seen in the growing crowd of traditional

media advertising

CONCLUSIONS

New strategies aimed at the target of reference in places where he

usually goes

Avoiding dispersion of the message

Limiting costs

Main objectives:

to create a brand awareness,

playing on the wonder of the

target, bored by the other forms of

communication
