Social media marketing has increased due to the growing active user rates on social media sites. For
example, Facebook currently has 2.2 billion users, Twitter has 330 million active users and Instagram has 800
million users.
One of the main uses is to interact with audiences to create awareness of the brand or service, with the main
idea of creating a two-way communication system where the audience and/or customers can interact back;
providing feedback as just one example. Social media can be used to advertise; placing an advert on Facebook's
Newsfeed, for example, can allow a vast number of people to see it or targeting specific audiences from their
usage to encourage awareness of the product or brand. Users of social media are then able to like, share and
comment on the advert, becoming message senders as they can keep passing the advert's message on to their
friends and onwards. The use of new media put consumers on the position of spreading opinions, sharing
experience, and has shift power from organization to consumers for it allows transparency and different
opinions to be heard.
Media marketing has to keep up with all the different platforms. They also have to keep up with the ongoing
trends that are set by big influencers and draw many people’s attention. The type of audience a business is
going for will determine the social media site they use.
