The Internet has changed the landscape of brand marketing and advertising forever.
The Internet is where people in the 21st Century get their news and information. Not only are consumers exposed to brands and businesses on the Web, they also research product information, evaluate options and customer opinions, and build a knowledge base that drives their purchase decisions. And, of course, more and more of these purchase decisions are even transacted online.
