Apple’s advertisements, digital marketing campaigns, as well as the Apple event are testaments to how much Apple is investing in its branding and marketing to grab the attention of the global audience.
Apple has particularly used the Apple event as effective way to announce new products as well as give a glimpse of its future products and strategies. Its increasing popularity over the years has helped the company gain a wider audience base as well as create a buzz around its current and future products.
