What's Happening in the World of Interactive Marketing

I just attended the OMMA conference in Hollywood. It inspired me to speculate on the future of online and interactive marketing; what's coming up in '08 and what's down the road. Several things strike me and inspire me. For instance, GM announced this week that it will dedicate half of it's $3 billion budget to digital and one-to-one marketing in the next three years. Wow. According to a recent survey by Prospero Technologies 90% of marketers who already use social media are planning to increase spending. Marketers say they are seeing their objectives reached or exceeded, even though they do not always have methodologies and metrics for measurement.
