  • new channels of communication, digital will lead the market. (e.g. Google almost everywhere, Yandex in Russia, Baidu in China), marketplaces (e.g. Alibaba Group, Amazon, eBay, Mercadolibre, etc.) and social media (e.g. Facebook Marketplaces, Instagram, WeChat).
  • tech will change, AI, machine learnings and algorithms are the new keys
  • new markets with new consumers pop up out of the blue in a few time
  • competition increased and is more and more global
  • transparency, privacy and security are some of the main issues
  • workforce needs to have different skills (e.g. blockchain, none was talking about this just few time ago)
  • be ready for the new challenges, opportunities and threats

With the onset of social media, and online market giants such as Amazon and eBay, as well as email marketing campaigns, technology has changed the way we do business and especially when it comes to advertising. In spite of all the changes, people still want information - GOOD information that creates value and benefit for the reader, and that can build loyalty from customers and consumers.
