If you had to summarize the current state of marketing in just six words, what would they be? Go ahead. Take a minute and see what pops into your head (and it’s OK if you use your fingers to count out the words like I did).
As someone who writes quite a bit, I’m constantly searching for shorter, simpler ways to explain concepts. Some say “less is more,” but the mantra I like to keep in mind is “brutal simplicity."
So here’s my version of marketing in 2016, in just six words: Digital is king; customer experience rules.
But sometimes six words aren’t quite enough to tell the full story.
