Consumers now have the power. And the goal for marketers is to make consumers an essential part of marketing.

So it’s no longer about marketing at them. It’s time to market with them. Because success in business today is no longer about the message. It’s about the kinship with customers.

A new world order.

Integrated marketing used to be fairly simple. If your television and print ads were tied to your newspaper and direct mail campaign, you had an “integrated” communications campaign. Today it’s much, much more complicated. If your still utilizing traditional media vehicles (and why not if that’s how your target consumes content), they need to have the message and brand consistency that’s always been required. But they also must now seamlessly integrate with social media, web site content, search engine optimization, point-of-sale materials, PR efforts, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and Google keywords. Not to mention customer service and internal communications. It’s overwhelming how many marketing channels are available, yet necessary, for connecting with new prospects and existing customers to further relationships and increase and organization’s value—and hopefully revenue.

Marketing: no longer a department; it’s your business.

Marketer's aspirational goal: Total Web Presence

The role of marketing has changed drastically and forever. The future of marketing is about serving, not selling. It’s about doing things with and for your customers. It involves participation, feedback and opinions. And yes, it involves lots and lots of technology.
Now, more than ever, it’s time to reconsider your entire approach to how you are presenting your brand value to customers and prospects. Because it’s no longer just about creating an image or putting a short-lived campaign face on a company anymore. It’s about holding a mirror up to your brand for everyone else to see. These days, building brands means building relationships. It’s about inspiring communities and delivering relevant value at every opportunity. So honesty, consistency and clarity matters—perhaps more than ever.
