Author’s Commentary“Many marketers continue to increase their ad budgets. This is directly rooted in traditional advertising mentality – increased advertising leads to increased sales. But in a world where there is oversaturation of advertising and information, shouting more often and more loudly won’t sales. Instead, we should look for true innovations in marketing and business model that drive lasting ROI and impact. This is a collection of such innovations.”
