There is one very obvious reason why social media and influencer marketing do not make up the majority of a brand’s communications or advertising budget. The decade-old dilemma, whether you work for a brand or agency, is a limited budget. Brands are not married to the idea of TV advertising, print media, billboards, etc.

Brand journalism and content creation falls closer to advertising than PR and while we agree it’s very important in this day and age, it certainly doesn’t oust media relations altogether. Sure, budgets are smaller, print is moving to digital-only and some high profile journalist moves out of the industry have made headlines.
