Marketing as we know it is undergoing fundamental change. A number of factors are driving this transformation, including changes in customer behavior, the proliferation of communication channels, ever-changing legal constraints and the rapid evolution of technology.
In response, world-class marketers are drastically changing their marketing mix – and in the process they are changing the marketing profession.
