It is officially December, the month of festive social media campaigns. In this Sunday Rundown #13, we focused a bit more on marketing — advertising, myths and predictions — which I hope you will like. Additionally, there will be a blog post (or series of blog posts) themed marketing in 2020. 😉

Consumers receive more messages, through more channels than ever before. To stand out from the crowd, advertisers need to hyper personalise their messages to get them through to the consumer.
Advertising is going through a transformation driven by data. To effectively reach their audiences, advertisers must connect and make sense of a myriad of data sources.
Dominant channels and budgets are also changing. The number of advertisers that rely on platforms under the umbrella of Google and Facebook is getting ever so bigger. But success is not only clicks and impressions. Success is also about lifetime customer value.
