Prior to the advent of digital technology, there were only a handful of media outlets that could have a significant audience. Before the digital revolution the majority of media consumed by the public was owned by companies like broadcasters, magazines, newspapers and production houses.
The rise of online media has altered the way businesses conduct business. Anyone can now create media and share it with an unlimited number users via a platform. Owned Media is the term to describe this expansion of reach.
The ease of sharing and creating content can cause problems. Common Internet memes and unauthorised use of songs are examples of how a lack of clear copyright laws can make online media difficult to manage.
If your business creates its own media and distributes it to clients, it might be considered an enterprise in the media industry in 2023. This definition expands beyond traditional media, like radio and TV to include businesses that produce and promote their own content such as YouTube videos, podcasts, and ebooks. A digital media company’s aim is to connect with their audience and expand their brand’s reach by using social media and word-ofmouth. These goals can be reached by using paid advertising platforms like PPC, Facebook Ads and Google Adwords. Effective social media marketing takes lots of work to be successful.
