As I’ve alluded to many times before, and on the off chance you haven’t noticed it yet, it is the 21st century. And while most of the world still lives without the internet, you, the urban elite, are obviously reading this on the web and thus are a member of the digital age.
It’s quite a wonderful time to be alive. With all the possibilities that technology can offer, the world is smaller than ever, and that is undoubtedly good news for the marketer or influencer. With clever use of online platforms and social media, it is more than possible to spread a message that will spread far and wide and reach audiences anywhere with a secure internet connection.
