Left Brain Marketing

by Eric Schmitt

with Chris Charron, Ayanna Lonian

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Three technology trends — media fragmentation, addressability, and interactivity — are converging on the world of marketing and advertising. In a new era of Left Brain Marketing, analytical strategies grounded in deep audience knowledge will rise to predominance. Creative will remain essential but will play a smaller, more sophisticated role. The looming transformation of TV into an addressable medium marks the inflection point in the shift.
