The speed of technology has most certainly amped-up everyone’s thinking. It’s like all of us have to consume 3 energy drinks each morning before work starts just so we can keep up. But I say it’s not just the energy we need, but intelligence.

I think we would all agree that marketing has changed considerably and technology is the main reason. Because technology has opened new doors for data collection, content creation, measurement, social media and crowdsourcing that means the intelligence and strategy behind marketing must change.

As marketers, the only way to harness the energy and speed of data driven marketing tools is to embrace it.
