This document discusses the changing landscape of advertising and marketing as the industry moves from traditional advertising to a new model focused on creating brand fans by making people's lives better. It notes that advertising will change more in the next 5 years than it has in the previous 50 and that the end of advertising as we currently know it is here. A new type of agency focused on technology, strategy, creativity, and getting brands closer to consumers through a multi-disciplinary approach will be needed for the future of marketing.
