This document discusses how brands must adapt to changing consumer behaviors and technologies. It outlines how marketing is being reinvented due to factors like the explosion of channels, digitalization, higher accountability, and fragmented media. Consumers now expect fluid, ad hoc experiences across multiple contexts. Technology trends like the rise of mobile and social media are also driving changes. Successful brands of the future will embrace attributes like being progressive, personal, principled, and focusing on the productivity of their solutions rather than just products. They will tell great stories, seamlessly connect experiences, and align all efforts around continuously serving customer needs.
