statement

"We are not target groups or end users or consumers. We are people - and our influence is beyond your control. You can handle that."

Under this heading, 95 theses provide a pragmatic view of people and markets, including new communication channels such as B. the Internet and mobile phone communication . It describes the growing impact that new technologies will have on communication and how the power of conventional marketing is waning as a result. The manifest outlines the end of one-way communication. The markets of the future are based on the relationships between people and on the relationships between companies and people or markets.
