Influx

There has been a lot of talk regarding the collapse of the old media world. Although, overly dramatic, there is a general feeling that things really are changing.

The question Influx wanted to answer is “If old media is collapsing, what new advertiser opportunities are going to replace it?”

So we set out to identify some the emerging forms of new options in the “Long Tail” of this new media landscape.

Note the blending and blurring of forms and how the quantity and complexity is going to make the media planner’s job even harder.
