As a marketer, we will have to use both traditional, as well as digital marketing avenues in a seamless manner.
With a clear understanding of the history of marketing, we are now in a position to compare the present to the past. The foray of consumer understanding, the evolution of the Internet bubble, the shift to mobile and many more developments have shaped the way marketing operates today.

Understanding the benefits, as well as the shortcomings, of traditional and digital marketing is important.
