The Shift
Why Most 2026 Plans Need a Fresh Set of Assumptions
The world of marketing changed faster than most businesses expected. These six shifts explain why old playbooks struggle, and why a new lens is needed.
Customers choose differently
People do not buy after one ad anymore. They compare, check reviews, scroll TikTok, and follow creators before they trust you.
Attention is harder to earn
Posting often used to work. Now your best content can still get ignored because the feed is full and everyone looks the same.
Trust breaks faster
Buyers verify everything through reviews, creators, TikTok, Reddit, and peers before they believe your claims.
Growth has become a system
You cannot rely on one strong ad, one good funnel, or one hero campaign. Every part of your business affects the next.
Competition is rising faster
New brands can launch overnight with good visuals and strong offers, so customers switch faster and loyalty is harder to earn.
AI changed the pace of work.
Work that took a week now takes a day. If your team is not aligned, AI makes the confusion show up even faster.
