Marketing will become less effective in the coming years as budgets are reduced. Traditional media is also growing less effective as competition increases and social media plays a larger role. This creates a vicious circle where investors downgrade stocks, reducing company resources. Most marketing focuses on tactics rather than strategy. Marketers need to reinvent themselves by moving from the old paradigm of maximizing profits to acknowledging new stakeholders and a social media world. Marketing is evolving from Marketing 1.0 focused on products to Marketing 3.0 focused on value and collaboration between companies and customers.
