Definition and trend analysis will also be provided to reflect the components and competitiveness of this new media. Also, comparison between the traditional media and the online media will be studied for the Hong Kong market. Through data collection, hypothesis was made along with research model to prove the validity of the hypothesis, according to the data collected in the real business world in Hong Kong, crucial factors that lead to a successful online advertising and marketing campaign. Data will be analyzed to screen out the factors that may lead to a successful advertising result. Certainly, it is difficult to define the meaning of success of each campaign as expectations and achievements vary.
