Once, there was the vast digital ocean. Marketers set out, with giant nets, casting them wide in the hope of catching something... anything. Those were simpler times. Today's marketing transcends mere fishing. It delves deep into understanding the habits of the fish, leveraging data to predict where and when they'll be. Blindly casting marketing messages into the digital depths and hoping for a bite is a relic of the past. Those clinging to antiquated methods might just end up casting into an empty void.
