The document discusses emerging marketing trends, including:
1) The rise of social media and how it is changing customer expectations and behaviors. Word-of-mouth marketing through social networks and user-generated content is becoming more important.

3) New marketing paradigms are emerging that are more decentralized and focus on collaborative innovation, transparency, and finding influencers to spread ideas virally. Marketing must reflect new social paradigms and behaviors.
