Skipping to the Conclusion
Marketers face a complex and sometimes bewildering combination of media fragmentation, new technologies, personalization, consumer power, and more. Studies identify some of the major opportunities of the new marketing environment. Yet realizing the full promise of these opporunities will require focused change in four critical areas: (1) consumer insight; (2) media mix and channel management; (3) marketing organization, culture, and talent; (4) ecosystem interconnectivity and partnerships.

Some leading organizations have already begun to demonstrate the kind of change that is required! But there is no uniform model or template for all organizations. Experimentation, innovation, and discovery are challenges, but also necessities for all. That is one thing that has not changed, and may never change about marketing.
