Marketing revolution needed to catch up with technology, says Rory Sutherland

Ogilvy Group vice-chairman Rory Sutherland argues that a revolution is needed in marketing to match the past decade's digital strides, in the latest ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 Talking Inspiration films.

Sutherland said: "In the next ten to 15 years, having had a massive growth spurt in digital in terms of what is technically possible, the next innovation will be at the other end of the tube.

"We need a marketing and human brain science revolution to match the electronic revolution."

Sutherland has shared his views on the use of Twitter, creating value, and direct marketing in the latest set of films in ±±¾©Èü³µpk10's Talking Inspiration series, presented by Marc Nohr.

In the videos, Sutherland said: "People themselves don’t know many of the mechanisms they use when making a purchasing decision. The fact that most of our decision-making processes are beyond conscious access seems to put most of research at a dangerous angle."
