We killed the Super Bowl commercial

And when I say "we" I mean those of us who cultivate an Internet culture that revels in the absurd and celebrates the weird.

25 Predictions For What Marketing Will Look Like In 2020

@jinneanbarnard shared this article with us and it's exactly the stuff we always talk about... where marketing is headed and what we need to do to get in front of it. Jinnean also pulled a couple of quotes and threw them our way, so I'll just put them here...

"Connected everything: homes, TVs, cars, jet engines, locomotives, wearables, lights. As marketers, pay particular attention to TV, as the web starts to power your remote control, look for more new players with high-quality content." Linda Boff, General Electric
