This week, Isakson updated this presentation and theory for 2009, with an equally good presentation on what’s next in marketing and advertising. In this he looks at the constantly Image by jurvetson via Flickr His basic thesis is that things no longer work like they used to and that marketing and advertising still needs to change to deal with this.
L et’s face it, the Obama Presidential campaign was one of the most successful social media marketing efforts in the history of the internet. can count on my fingers the number of major US companies that understand new media the way the Obama campaign did. (Incidentally, So what can we learn about social media marketing from the Obama campaign? I Incidentally, how long do you think it will take Firefox to put “Obama” in their spell-check dictionary?)
