Marketing has never been tougher. Customers are more connected, they are consuming more and more content via the Web through more and different mobile devices, and they are just more demanding. They want to get their questions answered (without talking to a sales rep), find what interests them, make educated choices, and feel in control of the process when they buy (and don’t kid yourself, they are in control). And if they love what you offer, they want to talk about it, share it, discuss it – on the platform of their choice.
