By Jennifer Landry

Whether you’re part of a large company or run a small business, advertising is an important aspect in any marketing campaign. Unfortunately, the traditional marketing and advertising process has changed significantly just in the past decade. In fact, 95 percent of people do not trust traditional advertising. Instead, people are turning to customer reviews and social media to help make with their purchasing decisions. These social networks are now one of the most influential tools available to companies if they want to increase brand recognition and interest.
