Abstract

The technological advances of the last decade make up a new world, where the digital permeates society in its various forms. In this new scenario, people and their everyday life change, mediated by new technologies, new tools. This transformation reflects in the contemporary communication and, consequently, in the traditional advertising. There is a new consumer, participative, that with the new technologies in his hands avoids the old advertising break and requires a more interesting speech. The advertising begins, then, to revise its core and innovate in their format and content. The entertainment seems to be the current strategy, revealing "maps" to reach that consumer. But there is still much to learn. Here, we launch a glance at the thought of some contemporary authors, focusing on changes that the information age generate on individuals, human relationships and, consequently, on the communication media. It appears urgent immerse in the bowels of advertising, to discover the paths that will lead to its "rebirth."
