I hope this project will provide many with direction, which as you know was the intent all along. Mary makes a good point, however many businesses in scale or growth mode have moved away from that awareness. It will definitely be an interesting year! Thank you for participating, Francois.

It's always been people talking to people...these days they have more ways to do it to a lot more others at the same time, without any help from companies' marketing departments. I would agree, however, that the traditional push/shove/yell crowd of Mad Ave. marketers can't grok how to fit "social media" into their toolkit. Latest example Carl's Jr's "we didn't want it to go this viral" fiasco with the free burger coupon. I’d submit that “social media” has long been mainstream.

My favortie is goals must be built on business objectives. I cannot tell you how many companies get started before they identify their business objectives. What do they say, a goal without a plan is just a wish. Thanks for sharing the predictions for 2009. My favortie is goals must be built on business objectives.
