If the means of communication are different, it is because the target recipient has changed. The passive figure of the advertising target has been replaced by the prosumer (a word that indicates the figure of the new client 2.0, formed by the contraction of producer / professional with consumer), an interactive reality that is able not only to dialogue with the company or the professional, but also to profoundly change their production choices. If it is true that the client must be at the centre of the communication activity, then we must also accept that the client can intervene directly in management choices, even indirectly. An example of this is the numerous parodies of advertising and brands created by users and circulated on the web, without any possibility of intervention by the company organisation or the protagonists. If further confirmation is required, a simple Youtube search with the keywords "spot parody" is enough to display thousands of sample results.The logics of warehouse demolition and just in time have built a sort of natural evolution from consumer to co-producer. Just think of the role of the press release, once read and used only and exclusively by a professional audience (the journalist).Today any customer can happen on a corporate online press release simply by searching on a search engine or news aggregator. Finding companies that add a product presentation press release to the digital product showcase is increasingly common and offers a clear indication of how this tool is evolving.
