MICRO AND MACRO TRENDS.

Just been looking at micro and macro trends as part of the Number 1 section on the brief...
And found an interesting marketing blog that explores the:
"TOP 5 DIGITAL TRENDS TO WATCH FOR 2009"

Even though the economy is slowing, all signs show that audiences are still spending a lot more time on the web. Marketers need to invest to meet them there. However, what's changed today they are smarter about where they focus their time, dollars and energy. Experimentation is giving way to tactics that deliver ROI. These include public engagement, search and social networking — three themes that connect the major macro trends.

Satisfaction Guaranteed - Customer care and PR are blending as consumers use social media to demand service

Media Reforestation - The media is in a constant state of reinvention as it transitions from atoms to bits

Less is the New More - Overload takes its toll. Gorging on media is out. Selective ignorance and friends as filters are in

Corporate All-Stars - Workers flock to social media to build their personal brands, yet offer employers an effective and credible way to market in the downturn

The Power of Pull - Where push once ruled, it’s now equally important to create digital content that people discover through search


On the blog there is a PDF paper to download discussing the trends further.

Think these will be really interesting for us to all discuss, especially the 1st and 3rd points?
