Each year, Mary Meeker compiles a wide-ranging report on the top Internet trends on behalf of venture capitalist firm KPCB. The report goes on for 213 pages. And do you have time for that? No!
That’s why Tom Webster and I distilled the report into the profound marketing trends that will have the biggest impact on you. Some of the ideas we cover in our new podcast are:
- Why “viral” is more is more viral that ever and how Facebook Live will become the ultimate in reality TV and a revolution in journalism.
- Why self-driving cars will dramatically change our behaviors and unleash new personal productivity.
- The economic battle for your business may get down to music, movies, books, and switching costs. Will Facebook need to get into the music business?
- The game-changing technology of voice recognition accuracy.
- The malignant complexity of data and the vulnerability of a “single-source” supply channel.
Pretty interesting stuff? If that wasn’t enough, it’s the third anniversary of The Marketing Companion and Tom and I have a traditional gift change to remember. Let’s get to it!
