But how did all this start? Let’s go all the way back.

A book called “The Media and Communications in Australia” published by Routledge, John Sinclair describes the beginning of advertising in the nineteenth century where it started with newspapers and product packaging. Before then people would ask for fresh organic products for example a kilogram of milk instead of the packaged products available now.

A pioneer in product packaging is Coca-Cola as it was only allowed for patent medicinal drinks, which is the history of the all-time favorite fizzy drink. After that newspapers started having advertising columns that were not much of a success until later it was changed to advertisement display and this allowed newspapers to make enough money from advertisements to cover the production value and make newspapers affordable for the masses not only the elite.

In the 20^th century radio, television, and the Internet were introduced and this allowed more opportunities for advertising and marketing to take place growing the market rapidly.

Advertising and marketing agencies are the “agent” that helps companies as “clients” promote their services or products and understand the market.

Agencies would originally make money from the commission given to them through purchasing advertisement slots for the clients who were major transnational companies, but not agencies are expected to provide full packaged services, and get paid for all the services they do.

Fun fact: A Paris newspaper called la Presse was the first to use paid advertising to lower its price, increase number of readers, and increase the profit.

And why exactly should I use the media marketing and advertising services?
