Australian consumers are blocking marketing messages and turning to each other for advice. Three-quarters of Australian online adults now use social technologies, and one-quarter create their own content. With such a fundamental shift in how Australians use media, marketers must rethink their strategies. For example, to engage online women in Australia, interactive marketers should focus on content and connections. As a small, developed market that makes heavy use of social technologies, Australia is the perfect launchpad for global brands adopting social marketing tactics.
