It all starts with culture. In 2015, CMOs will begin to instill a culture focused on customers. Budgets will shift away from paid promotion and into brand content that their audiences actually want to consume. We will see a culture of content emerge as the new brand. Data, technology, and content. Marketing organizations will shift away from silos based on channel or functional ownership. Branding, advertising, PR, demand generation – all will begin to dissolve into three areas: data, technology, and content. Visual storytelling. In 2015, leading brands will start to create in-house production studios. As video and visual content continue to dominate the consumer landscape, brands will start to entertain and inform their customers through visual storytelling – more similar to movie studios and television producers.
