“Marketing 5.0 Technology for Humanity” is a must-read for every marketer in today’s age of artificial intelligence (AI). Written by Phillip Kotler, Hermawan Kartajaya, and Iwan Setiawan, the marketing book provides an insightful and comprehensive overview of how marketers can use technologies to their advantage.
This marketing book starts off with a discussion of Challenges Marketers Face in a digital world – to serve 5 different generations: baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, GenerationZ, and Generation Alpha.
Kicking off their book with the pressing topic of “generation gap”, the authors provide a thought-provoking exploration into just how challenging this can be for marketers. The current market consists of five distinct generations, each with unique needs and experiences from childhood through adulthood.
The authors additionally discuss the potentially exaggerated notions of “inclusivity” and “sustainability for society”, as well as how polarization affects humans both in their personal life, on the job, or within markets.
The authors also describe how the COVID-19 pandemic has been a major ‘accelerator for digitization’ globally. It has inspired a massive shift from traditional to digital methods, allowing companies to go digital faster than ever before. In response, marketers have had to develop new strategies that adapt to digital trends while also considering the needs of their customers.
This book on marketing technology dives into the newest, cutting-edge advancements in our industry such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things (IoT), and augmented reality. We know, keeping up with these rapidly evolving technologies is essential to staying ahead of the competition.
It’s clear that while machines are undoubtedly cool and provide valuable assistance, humans remain the heart of marketing. As this book has shown us, technology can help marketers to reach their goals more efficiently than ever before. However, it is important for marketers to remember that human connection remains essential in order to build relationships with customers and make sure they have a positive experience when interacting with your brand. Ultimately, “Marketing 5.0” reminds us all that machines are cool but humans are warm.
The third and final part of “Marketing 5.0” is devoted to data-driven marketing, predictive marketing, contextual marketing, augmented marketing and agile marketing.
