What is Marketing?


Interest in marketing has grown over the past decade.  Casual observers are drawn to the glamour and sex appeal from shows such as AMC's Mad Men.  


Mad Men is not a reference to the characters style or even state of mind.  It is from a far less glamorous reference to the location of the firm, Madison Avenue.  In fact, marketing in today's environment is far less instinctual and involves a great deal of planning and knowledge about customers and their needs.  marketing has evolved into a field where analytics and creativity go hand in hand to create messages that resonate with customers.

And if marketers are successful, they are able to influence behavior.
