...ourselves we think of either the Radio or Television. When we think of the Radio we think of our favorite songs or those repetitive, irritating, boring yet interesting and amusing talk shows in between mixes. What we do not consider is; where did this entertainment come from? How it actually produces sound? How does it exist or even who brought it into existence? We utilize television for most of our entertainment as well and the same applies. We never question how Television came along, how the picture is projected? How we’re able to see the images in color and so forth. All we care for is celebrity reality shows, amazing food networks and live Sports. The history of these legacy media consists of time, trial and error. Legacy Media as a whole has made a larger impact on the world than actual world issues. Legacy Media today is the money, power and even the respect in all parts of the Earth. It first began in the late 1800s, when Heinrich Hertz detects and produces radio waves.

... Consumer Direct— powered by ACNielsen, and for 18 months, Consumer Direct has combined the reach and technology of Yahoo! with the analytical tools of ACNielsen Homescan. The program evaluates the effectiveness of online advertising and promotions by consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies like PepsiCo, Kraft, Unilever and Nestlé. The study results are consistent—and satisfying. They indicate that online promotions can lift offline sales time after time, whether the item in question is a food, personal care or household product. Furthermore, each campaign has typically brought in more than twice the amount that the company paid to advertise online, with short-term sales increases of more than $3 million. As Charlene Li, an advertising analyst with Forrester Research, said in a The New York Times report on Consumer Direct, “This is pretty darn cool.” It is—and it signals that now could be the best time ever for consumer package goods companies to start advertising online.
