Due to the rise of social media and other innovations in advertising and technology, we live in an age in which brands and celebrities can go beyond basic communication with consumers and fans to engage with them in more substantial ways. And the key to any successful modern marketing campaign is not merely to reach the desired target audience, but also to attain a level of meaningful engagement that aids in customer acquisition.
