BLOCKCHAIN
Why Blockchain Now?
WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
Blockchain, essentially a massive ledger of transactions, is an open and shared database that operates in a decentralized network format. That means large amounts of information can be transmitted and added onto it without compromising security. Nobody can alter the blockchain, and no single person can destroy it.
WHY SHOULD MARKETERS CARE?
Blockchain has proven useful across finance and its application to marketing shows potential in four ways: ad-delivery verification, corporate social responsibility, marketing, and managing consumer data.
HOW CAN IT HELP YOUR BUSINESS?
As such, experts believe blockchain can be used to eliminate fraud in ad delivery. It can let consumers know the "story" behind a product in an authentic way. And there are also applications towards corporate social responsibility for brands.
