As a result
We are immune to advertising. Just forget it.
You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention.
The Internet became a place where people could talk to other people
without constraint. Without filters or censorship or official sanction
and perhaps most significantly, without advertising
Don't talk to us as if you've forgotten how to speak. Don't make us feel
small. Remind us to be larger. Get a little of that human touch.

Consumers control the online environment so brands need to think

about facilitating user-created actions, not just user-generated
content." Unlike newspapers and TV where the advertisers are
speaking at consumers, the Internet allows for more back and forth
interaction.

Growth of social media

What is social media?

Social media describes the online technologies and practices that

people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives
with each other (Wikipedia 2007)

They share one or more characteristics

Connectedness

Getting from me to them

I post on blogs and BBS because I can

express myself to millions of people at once.
I like the rush, and I feel empowered.

Source: http://china.seekingalpha.com/article/30979

I believe the bloggers and their ideas.

They are my friends and will tell me the truth, unlike
advertisements.

Co-creators

Engagement is all about

making it relevant to the consumer.

James Speros, Chief marketing officer, Ernst & Young

People read particular magazines because of

the life stages and events which currently
involve them: from teenager to golfer, from
having a baby to coping with retirement.

Source: Henley Centre, Delivering Engagement 2004

The editorial/reader relationship is a one-to-one

conversation, and in time it creates a bond of
trust, of belief, expectation and empathy. It is
through the quality of this relationship that an
aperture or opening to the readers mind and
heart is created, through which we advertisers
can establish communication.
