The old media strategies advertisers used for decades no longer work. Here's what does!
Traditional advertising, in the form of print, radio, and most notably, television, is far less effective than
it used to be. Advertising strategies using only these mediums no longer work. Life After the 30-Second Spot explains
how savvy marketers and advertisers are responding with new marketing techniques to get their message out, get
noticed, engage their audiences-and increase sales! Covering topics such as viral marketing, gaming, on-demand
viewing, long-form content, interactive, and more, the book explains the new avenues marketers and advertisers
must use to replace traditional print, TV, and radio advertising-and which strategies are most effective. This
book is every marketer's road map to "new marketing."
