Well media that is paid has to be advertise as paid otherwise it isn’t misleading. And if you want, earned media, people will have to know about you to develop an opinion, and that means paid media. And with social, depending on the platform, some of the best results come from social, but ultimately, I can see how owned media now needs to have a personality, and that can be improved upon, but at the same time, if it’s in your face all the time, it won’t seem authentic. So just like the past, owned media will always be the part that is the least viewed. Earned media is the best but, you can’t control it. The only thing you can control is making people aware of the product so that they experience it. And then developing a good product, but to be honest, in certain industries or categories, the quality of the product doesn’t matter that much. People buy it from Tiktok shop all the time, that is no different than a commercial or a pre-roll ad. It’s just much easier to make the impulsive purchase. But those TikTok shop videos are so crappy. I swipe immediately, and yet I’ve purchased a self tanner.
