This document discusses how marketing is changing in the digital world. It notes that marketing has evolved from focusing on information to focusing on user experience, mobile, and now artificial intelligence. While technology allows for faster and more personalized marketing, convenience is becoming more important to time-poor customers. The role of humans in marketing is changing as well - algorithms and AI are now part of the audience and some marketers fear job loss. However, humans still provide important skills like empathy, creativity and passion that help build emotional connections with customers. The marketing revolution combines automation and data with human relationships to provide both operational excellence and emotional intelligence.

Editor's Notes

The new decision makers
When someone searches on Google with terms closely related to the titles and frequently used phrases on your website, Google Ads will use these titles and phrases to select a landing page and generate a clear, relevant headline for your ad.
Powered by Google’s machine learning technology, optimised ad rotation enables advertisers to deliver the right message to the right audience. Optimised ad rotation is a feature within AdWords that prioritises ads that are expected to perform better than other ads within an ad group.
Advertisers can upload multiple ad creatives and then allow Google to optimise ads for clicks in each individual auction using signals like keyword, search term, device, location and more. Using traditional A/B split testing methods this level of optimisation would be next to impossible. llowing Google to crawl through your website and create its own campaigns and ads based on your sites content might sound like something out of the future, but the reality is that Google AdWords has had this feature for years In the form of dynamic search ads (DSAs)
While it’s not the best idea to rely on Dynamic search ads for your primary campaigns just yet, the feature is a great way for advertisers to capture unique long tail searches. Why is this important? Because out of all the trillions of searches that Google record, 15% are completely new.

If you look under the bonnet, you’ll see the second set of signals that other bidding platforms don’t have. Matter of fact, Google freely claims that no other bidding platform will have access to a significant portion of these signals. Target ROAS draws on moment-of-query-time information for precision bids. As a result, it knows exactly where on the S-curve it needs to bid; and will never bid a cent higher than necessary to win the auction.

These algorithm tweaks along with tests like hiding Likes and cracking down on inappropriate content is leading to concerns from lingerie and swimwear brands that engagement could be affected, according to We Are Social's head of research and insight Paul Greenwood.
Social media consultant Matt Navarra said that algorithm complaints occur on a weekly basis on a social media group he runs, which has more than 8,000 members. "People say organic reach is being strangled, others report having a record-breaking week,” he said.
