As an analyst covering marketing I am asked all the time about what the future holds. However, my best ideas almost always form from conversations with smart people in the field. This slide deck takes tweets submitted to my latest survey (IDC's 2014 Marketing Barometer Story) and tells a story of what you, the marketers of the world, believe is the future of marketing.
