Digital and Traditional – Friends or Foes
The digital medium is quickly catching up with traditional mediums in terms of ad spends and consumption. While digital is the way to go, traditional is here to stay. Do marketers have to choose between digital and traditional or is there a way to strike a perfect balance between the two mediums?

Why isn’t digital a $5bn opportunity?
Marketers all over the world have embraced digital. An extremely interactive medium, Digital is now more than just engagement. Many marketers are using digital advertising as building blocks for their brands. While data shows a significant increase in the consumption of data through digital platforms, advertisers are still spending a larger chunk of their advertising budget on traditional media.

In spite the numbers showing a steep percentage increase in the digital ad spends, it makes only 15% of the ad spends pie. What is keeping digital from becoming the largest medium for ad spends? Are marketers investing in digital only out of the fear of being left out or do marketers have a longer-term perspective in terms of investment of digital marketing? What initiatives are marketers and digital platforms owners taking to help the industry grow and function to its full potential?
