About The Evolution of Marketing

The Evolution of Marketing programme is focused on providing marketers with insight into emerging trends and significant shifts in industry. It aims to answer two main questions:

  • What will be the most effective marketing strategies in coming years?
  • What can marketers do today, to best position themselves for this future?

WARC's Marketer's Toolkit is the centerpiece of this program, identifying critical emerging trends. Additional reports and deliverables build on it, allowing us to provide additional forward-looking insight and analysis on key marketing issues throughout the year.
