The Future of Social Marketing
Marketing is at a crossroads. Until 1960, when Theodore Levitt wrote Marketing Myopia,1 it had not been considered a serious function of strategic management. From there, the discipline developed at such pace that Marketing Management,2 Philip Kotler’s classic textbook, is in its 13th edition counting 816 pages. Organizations have never had such powerful information and communication technologies3 with which to interact with clients, audiences, and partners; explore, find, capture, store, analyze, present, use, and exchange information data and information about them; and tailor products and services accordingly. Along with that, never before have end users expected to interface so closely with organizations and with one another to define and shape what they need. In its highest form, marketing is now considered a social process, composed of human behavior4 patterns concerned with exchange of resources or values.5 It is no longer a mere function used to increase business profits.
