The document discusses how traditional marketing funnels are outdated in the digital age. It presents research showing that today's consumers navigate a decision journey in four iterative stages: consider, evaluate, buy, and enjoy/advocate. This consumer decision journey implies two things for marketers - they should target different touchpoints at each stage, and reallocate budgets from one-way advertising to owned and earned media. The document provides an example of a company that piloted this approach by understanding consumers' online behaviors, prioritizing touchpoints, and shifting resources to customer experience programs.
