Doc on point. I have to say I’ve come around a bit on the Attention vs. Intention Economy argument although not everyone is like Doc and knows exactly what they want. Sometimes I want a camera lense, but don’t know what kind, type features I’m initially looking for. This is why the “markets not marketing” phrase drives me up the wall. People who say that usually have not worked in marketing, are too focused on “old way is dead, new way is only option” thinking, which is far too extreme at this point and time although I agree things will be shifting from producer to consumer soon. Oops, I said consumer, I meant person.
