External Brand Challenges

There is a content and media surplus.
Consumers have an attention deficit. Their lives are
unpredictable and they consume content differently every day.
They have tunnel vision.
All consumers are influential and influence their peers
through the purchase funnel.
Despite these external market conditions, marketers still
have business objectives (revenue, market share, customer
acquisition)
