This document summarizes a presentation by Laura "Pistachio" Fitton about how marketing has been transformed. Some key points:
- Marketing used to focus on attracting attention to yourself but now focuses on providing attention and value to others. Influence comes from being useful rather than hype.
- The balance of power has shifted from companies controlling the message to the message and influencers controlling companies. Content must get found and convert prospects rather than just getting followers.
- HubSpot consolidates the best inbound marketing methods like blogging, social media, SEO tools, and analytics to help companies implement these strategies. Marketing requires listening, learning, caring and serving customers rather than old sales approaches.
