Online Media and Business
Before the advent of digital media there were just a handful of media outlets that could reach a large audience. Before the digital revolution the majority of media consumed by the public was owned by companies like newspapers, magazines, broadcasters and production houses.
The advent of online media has transformed the way businesses conduct business. Anyone can now make media and share it with an unlimited number users through an online platform. Owned Media is the name for this broader reach.
The ease of creating and sharing content can lead to problems. Internet memes, songs that are not authorized for use, and popular Internet memes are a few examples of how the absence of clear copyright laws makes it difficult to manage online media.
In 2023, if your company produces and distributes its own media to customers on a list, it could be considered a „media company“. This definition extends beyond traditional media such as TV and radio, to include businesses which produce and promote their own content, like YouTube videos, podcasts and ebooks. A digital media company’s aim is to engage their audience and increase the visibility of their brand by using social media and word-ofmouth. This can be achieved through paid advertisements on platforms such as PPC, Facebook ads and Google Adwords. Effective social media marketing takes an enormous amount of effort to be successful.
