RAHUL KAMAT
In India, radio was the first medium of mass marketing which was the most trusted medium to promote your brand to the masses. It covered all strata of population right from the deepest of the rural market to the biggest of the metros in India. With the advent of television, things dramatically changed as there was a great interest among the people to watch something which was otherwise only audible, and after that it was the technology which took over the business of marketing and then came the social media Jargon and so on. With changing times people started to look out for new medium which could make sure the message about a product or service is delivered to the end user or say the influencer who could be a future prospect for it. All the mediums which exist have been trying to reach each and every part of the country. To connect to the people passing on a message and have been successful.
