In the Previous Article of our series on "Understanding Push Marketing to Digital Marketing Transformation" we discussed using Google as advertising tool; how easy it is for advertiser to reach everywhere on internet digitally and exactly on sites where people are searching for products & services they offer!
I thought that's possibly an end of the world in digital marketing and we might not see anything innovative like this in future; where in advertiser is in better control to reach their target audience seating in any part of the world at nominal cost.
