The most disruptive and comprehensive marketing strategies for 2023/24 by mega brands (paradoxically countering massively disclosed trends)

(By Maurizio, Maqueda, and Otero) In the dynamic realm of marketing, branding, and brand culture, a conflict arises between following trends and adopting genuinely disruptive strategies. As we delve into this conflict, we question the purpose of our marketing efforts. Is it merely to follow trends, or is there a more coherent and solid marketing mix beyond seeking likes and views? This article explores the growing tension between mega trends and strategic disruptiveness, urging us to rethink conventional marketing approaches.

Key Ideas:
