It's December, that time of year when everyone takes a shot at predicting the future. We live in a marketing world where everything is changing almost daily. If we aren't making predictions we've taken our eye off the ball and we're likely to miss something. The following Infographic was provided to us by ExactTarget and includes predictions from some very interesting and smart people. These are people who understand the world of marketing, brands, ROI and technology. They don't have a crystal ball, but I'm guessing we'll see some of what they predict actually occur. Have a look for yourself.
I love making predictions and reading others' predictions. It makes me think about the future and gets my creative juices flowing. In the coming days I hope to publish my own list of predictions for 2013. For now, I want to share with you the predictions of people like Matt Fleckenstein at Microsoft, Jay Baer at Convince & Convert, Jeff Eden at DEG Digital, Brent Hieggelke at Urban Airship, Marcus Nelson at Addvocate, Joe Pulizzi at Content Marketing Institute and David Berkowitz at 360i. These people are good at what they do and have come up with some predictions I think you'll find very interesting. Some will be spot-on and some will miss the target entirely. But all the predictions are thought-provoking and inspired. So, have a look for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below.
