Interesting Digital Facts

When did digital marketing start?

Nobody expected Newsweek to go totally digital in its production. The digital age as we now know it, began with the Internet and the Web 1.0 platforms of the early 1990s. Do you remember the static world in which users could get the information they were seeking without being able to share it on the web? Interaction on the web consequently did not exist. Hence the only activity was reading of content. The first clickable banner ad launched In 1993. In fact, as a result 1994 Hotwired began to purchase huge numbers of banner ads. Of course resulting in the fist step towards the digital marketing age.

Furthermore, new technology entered into the digital marketplace after 1994. Google being founded in 1998. Blogger followed in 1999. About this time social networking sites began to be birthed and Blackberry launch their own mobile email program. MySpace is one of the first social sites to arrive on the social scene.
