This infographic, by Flowtown, provides you with a humorous glimpse of how marketing has evolved over thousands of years. In fact, some of the olden days techniques are still being used today (e.g print ads).
The way marketers communicate messages to others depends heavily on the technologies that are invented. With that said, the past two centuries of technologies have rapidly changed the way marketers push their messages – radio, phones, television, Internet (some technologies aren’t highlighted in the infographic though).
Social media is of course the current “trending topic” in the field, but like any other medium, it would just be another day-to-day communication tool one day. How long would the social media hype last and what would be the next technology to revolutionize how marketers work?
Could location-based advertising be the answer?
