New media is definitely the media medium for brands & products to reach out to consumers & the public. Times have evolved beyond that of simply just newspapers and magazines. It is the dawn of a new era – New Social Media (Bloggers/websites/facebook/twitter/etc). We look forward to hearing your speech Alvin!
