To gain some perspective on these media forms we shall look at them individually. In a recent blog by Paul Kiser called \’Who Uses Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, & MySpace? 4thQ & 1stQ Stats and Analysis\’ Mr. Kiser put Facebooks \”internet presence\” into perspective. He highlights some staggering statistics in that the combined daily circulation of the Wall Street Journal, USAToday, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, the New York Daily News, and the New York Post equals only 36% of the average daily unique visitors (19 million) of Facebook.\” It is fine to highlight what may already be known, that Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn all invite a substantial amount of users worldwide, but what is even more astonishing, is how much investors can gain from these users.

Some companies have launched their own Social media sites in light of Social media\’s success. Coca Cola for example has launched \”Coke Zone\”, a Social media sites which offers Coca Cola customers unique offers and rewards. On top of launching its own site, Coca Cola Company also reported a shift in investment from Traditional media marketing to Social and Mobile media marketing. The shift is estimated to see Coca-Cola invest $161 Million US invested into these new avenues, and gives a strong representation of how some of the world\’s largest companies are aiming to utilise the Social and Mobile revolution.

Other companies such as Verve Wireless are shifting Millions of dollars from traditional marketing to social and mobile marketing. What is important to recognise here, is that Mobile and Social media have been experiencing marketing dollars invested in them for a while. However, what we are beginning to see now, are all the makings of a fully-fledged advertising revolution. Not only are marketers investing more in social and mobile media, but they are doing so at the expense of traditional marketing mediums. This in all actuality should come as no surprise to most of us. Considering the percentage of the world\’s population that own mobiles, considering how often we carry our mobiles with us as well as their access to social media content, it was only a matter of time until marketers began to look into shifting the focus of their advertising campaigns from traditional media to social and mobile media.

Media itself is changing. It develops in direct relation to technology and the possibilities technology allows in engaging and interacting with customers. As such, marketing is shifting its sights onto new media formats such as mobile and social media at the expense of traditional media. The dawn of a new marketing era is well upon us.
