The Future of Marketing According to Industry Experts

By: Jordan DeMars, Pablo Romero

Marketing is everything when it comes to promoting businesses, yourself, events, practically anything can be marketed. Over the years, it has evolved from newspaper ads to TV commercials and then to social media, and it just keeps evolving with the advances in technology. But how far can it go? On April 12-13, 2017, we had the privilege to attend the Midwest Digital Marketing Conference (MDMC) where we met and interviewed various speakers from different companies including Microsoft, Pinterest, and Pandora. After listening to them speak, we were able to sit down and talk to each of them about what they think the future of marketing and technology has to hold.

One thing they all agree on, however, is that the future lies on the Internet of Things (IoT).
