While the 2010s have undeniably been a period of deep changes for the world, they were just a glimpse of the economical, technological and demographical transformations that the 2020s will bring. We interviewed 250 top marketers across a broad spectrum of brands, including FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, to not only understand their expectations for 2020, but also their hopes and concerns for the next ten years. The report includes exclusive interviews with global leaders from businesses such as Sprint, SideWalk Labs, Microsoft, and Buttercloth.

Marketers are torn between what the industry dictates and their own experience of digital transformation: 78% identify having a connected data strategy as the most important component of a successful digital transformation, while 69% believe a clear culture transformation strategy is the most underestimated facet
