As for me I think I would prefer the rise of the facilitator for a start,I also love writing marketing copying as a beginner.

And what about the underlying relentlessly permeating pandemics of racism, classism, and massive disparities from the tiny top to the massive bottom? How long can a vast majority of marketing gurus, influencers, and up-and-comers keep ignoring THAT crushing, alarming electronic fence because of their embedded phobias of ‘being too political?’ in their work?

In reply to Susan McCarthy. I've been there before Susan! I rarely have the patience or interest to read someone's marketing :)

I loved all the predictions but my favorite was the end of pure direct response marketing. Oh how I hate those loooooong landing pages with obnoxious repeatable features and benefits, but wait, there’s more. And the same for the video mail. I was really interested in a product and ended up watching a video for an hour as they rambled on and on to get to the offer. I kept thinking, this has got to be ending soon, but I just got fed up and exited. I agree that more nurturing is the answer, not some keeping you hostage diatribe last chance loser template.

Absolutely loved this and feel that you are spot on. Your “death of the dabbler” prediction from last yearyear was so accurate, especially as Facebook, Google and Amazon began gobbling up everything in sight and moving the game of monopoly that they had been playing in the real world into the virtual space. At the same time, I began noticing a certain degree of pushback in the various groups that I a member of and that I was not alone in my hatred of Facebook groups and the general sense of overwhelm and lack of genuine support that I quickly felt any time I tried to spend time in any of the various Facebook groups that I belong to. I therefore love the idea of “wearing my small pants proud” and aiming for smaller and more tightly niched groups with genuine connection. My little duck and the Live Your Message mug from the LYM 3 day event earlier this year still have pride of place on the desk next to me and I was massively inspired by the bigger vision for a brighter future that you presented there, so I also loved your point about social entrepreneurship and people caring more about the bigger why as a trend for the coming year. Thank you for the creative energy and the light and inspiration that you bring into the world and wishing you even greater success in 2022!

That is just simply excellent. Thank you.
A favourite would be the microverse, as it was personally very helpful to know and be assured going into the future, but all of this was useful to know. Thank you very much.
