Where is Marketing Headed?
Social media has gone mainstream and ignoring it is no longer an option. The internet is not just a source of information. It is a two‐way communication highway where users provide as much content as traditional companies and media. People want information now. And they want it in whatever format they want. They don’t want to be talked at. They want to be talked with. They want to tell you their opinion and they want you to listen. And, they want to hear back from you.
We must adapt.
