How important is new media? The fact is most executives are still spending more of their budget in old media. In fact, 45% of them allocate less than 10% on new media. So says a survey from Gundersen Partners.

Is that a true picture of the reality B2B marketing executives must deal with today? One glimpse at the wafer-thin thickness of any trade journal and you get a different picture

A survey of chemical industry buyers conducted by Schubert Communications provides another glimpse of what’s real today. True enough, the Schubert survey collaborates that 78% of the responders say they reference old media for information on new products, while 60% reference the Internet and 53% reference company Web sites. Have we reached a tipping point? You decide.
