A quick browse through my Google reader shows that it’s that time again. No, not the holidays. It’s time to gaze into the marketing crystal ball and make bold predictions about where marketing dollars will be spent in the upcoming year, what communications trends will appear and how we as marketers can best lever this knowledge.
I don’t pretend to be extraordinarily prescient when it comes to these things, so I’m going to put down my own crystal ball and instead point to a few posts on other blogs that might illuminate the near future for marketers.
A LinkedIn question about New Years resolutions for CEOs has garnered 5 responses so far. What are your clients’ resolutions for 2010 and where do your services fit into those plans?
According to this post, it’s going to be all about social media and email next year.
Will portable identities take off like this post predicts? Will B2B companies further expand usage of social media and take advantage of this brand portability?
And finally, this post predicts all of the above will take place in 2010.
Do you have any predictions for the year ahead?
