What Does HTML 5 Mean to Advertising Companies?

103 34
Advertising companies have seen enough changes in the last two decades to a degree that has boggled many.
From the advent of the desktop computer, then digital applications that apply to content and delivery, then of course the internet.
Advertising from the beginning is based on dispersing information and essentially providing a coercive message in a coercive package.
Even in the early nineties, it was a worry for printers to think that there would be a day when paper was not as easy to use as a medium and we are quickly approaching a time when it will cease.
In short this is due to the effectiveness of other mediums such as the internet.
Today, it is not out of anyone's grasp to think that the internet is the foremost method of seeking information.
Entertainment, advertising, reference...
so many subject that it has been umbrellaed into the term "Content".
So yes, many consumers themselves will attest to the fact that they would just rather get most of their content from the internet.
And all the time from the past ten years especially the key for advertising was delivering content associated with their client's information; but how? Jobs were posted for programmers, designers...
WEB GURUS; and all the time the technology moved closer to being easier, not more complicated.
The evolution of creating content for the Web is naturally moving towards "ease of use", and yet, many techniques and practices continue daily in an effort to reinvent the wheel.
While HTML 5 is not to be finalized for a few years now; the begging need for an upgrade to the elderly HTML 4 has far outgrown the desire and is causing virtual wars in the race to implement whatever is possible.
So, if you have not guessed by now, as long as your browser is updated, chances are you already have it.
A great example...
no, a HUGE example is the implementation of the <VIDEO> element in page creation and coding.
For years, I myself included, we have desperately devised sneaky workarounds and "tricks" to place audio and video into a site.
Not only that, but provide controls like volume, play or stop.
In the last century, something as simple as that caused a few people to have sleepless nights.
Now with the new implementations, it is as simple as this <video src="myfile.<br/>mp4" controls="controls"></video> And there you have it, finished and ready to go.
Many of the new HTML elements that people will really take to are labels that pertain to a natural language.
Placing a footer into a page, then use
, or if you want a header, use
.
So what? Yes, these are already present and found in a multitude of solutions.
However, what is happening is that there are many connections that fall into place because the browsers are ready for it this time.
The result that will stand out in the coming years and even right now, the learning curve is not only shrinking on dispersing the content, but also creation, management and just about everything else.
The good news for advertisers is this; you can stop trying to be a programmer and go back to the psychology and business of influence.
Advertising companies now can take advantage of the media components that are available and ready to go now; and even better than the average internet marketer blogging away on their laptop.
Delivery of media to hand helds, and desktops and just about everything else with less concern about who has the right plug-ins or how can we connect this to a database the right way? The new standards in actuality are matching closer to all the other technologies like APACHE and Oracle, for instance and making it far easier to get what you and your customer want out into the world where people are ready to connect.
With many of the automatic updates that are constantly changing the browsers as opposed to the previous wait for the end user to get a clue or finally buy a computer that can handle it, this implementation won't even be painful like the last decade of upgrades.
HTML5 is going to speed things up quite a bit and the ramifications are going to swiftly change the way we all connect with clients in the future; but just hold true that you need to be on board and ride this one out; it's going to be a good ride.
