The future of marketing is about being human, because humans don't remember the pitch, they remember the experience. We've got to stop thinking like marketers and start acting like humans to delight our prospects and customers at every touch point. Let's put on our human hats and create an experience worth writing home about.

Editor's Notes
- Dharmesh: Took out the “is…” because the next slide doesn’t answer the question.
- Dharmesh: Changed to “but first this…”
- Baby in clown suit
- Dharmesh: Changed to “is about being” (instead of using the word “lies”).
- Dharmesh: Changed to “this includes marketers” (
- Dharmesh: Fixed typo to read: “wind in sails”
- Dharmesh: I would take one more run at these 5 points and reduce the volume of text. People don’t like to read.
- Dharmesh: I like this and the next slide. Lets keep them in.
- Dharmesh: Lets shorten the list to maybe 5, and use all gender-neutral ones. I also like the “spread” of different kinds of adjectives. I’m thinking: parents, gardeners, ambitious, impatient
- Dharmesh: Fixed typo (an email). Quick tactical note: For these slides, better to use a single text box and just change the font/size for the word you want to highlight (instead of having two separate boxes). Easier to edit text, and less likely to get messed up on different monitors.
- Dharmesh: Changed Slideshare to a presentation (more generic, and not trademarked).
- Dharmesh: Lets put a link in to a specific follow-up resource (not sure what it should be). We should also use a bit.ly link for it, so we can track clicks.
