Preface New to This Edition All That’s New: Marketing in a Digital Age of Customer Value and Engagement The nineteenth edition of Principles of Marketing reflects the major trends and shifting forces that impact marketing in this digital age of customer value, engagement, and relationships. Here are just some of the major new and continuing changes you’ll find in this edition. Customer engagement framework: This nineteenth edition continues to build on its cus- tomer engagement framework—creating direct and continuous customer involvement in shaping brands, brand conversations, brand experiences, brand advocacy, and brand community. New coverage and fresh examples throughout the text address the latest customer engagement tools, practices, and developments. Digital marketing: In the nineteenth edition, the Digital Marketing chapter (Chapter 17) is retitled, heavily restructured, and much revised, with substantial new framing and con- tent. Rather than treating digital marketing as a part of the promotion mix, the chapter is now a standalone digital marketing strategy chapter that focuses on special consid- erations in preparing digital marketing campaigns. The recrafted chapter is organized around a four-step digital marketing process that involves understanding digital mar- keting, preparing for a digital marketing campaign, employing digital channels (online, social media, and mobile ­marketing) in an omni-channel strategy, and addressing public policy issues in digital marketing. Marketing information and customer insights management: In the nineteenth edition, the Managing Marketing Information to Gain Customer Insights chapter (Chapter 4) has been heavily restructured and revised to reflect the extensive transformation of marketing re- search and information insights management in the digital age—from data sources and digital insights gathering to big data and marketing analytics. The massive digital shift in managing marketing information is now fully integrated into the chapter. Marketing in the age of disruption: Throughout the nineteenth edition, you’ll find new cov- erage of how companies are dealing with recent major disruptions in the marketing en- vironment. The recent past has been marked by everything from the rapid rise of digital technologies and large economic swings to extreme environmental patterns, social and politi- cal turmoil, and global health crises. For example, the digital age has caused an enormous shift in what, how, and where consumers buy. Wide-ranging social, environmental, and political developments require a new approach to social responsibility, sustainability, diversity, and brand activism. The global COVID-19 pandemic had a huge and lasting impact on consumers and, consequently, on the industries and brands that serve them. Such disruptions create both threats and opportunities for marketers, who must adapt quickly and create flexible strategies that can deal with uncertain times and futures. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI): With guidance from DEI experts, every effort has been made to ensure that the nineteenth edition of Principles of Marketing fully and re- sponsibly represents the interests of diversity, equity, and inclusion in its treatment of marketing topics, examples, and illustrations. We also take care throughout this edition to note how marketers are applying DEI values in their strategies and actions. As just a few examples, see the new Chapter 15 section on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Advertising and Real Marketing 15.2: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Advertising: More Than a Catchphrase. Also see the substantially revised and updated Chapter 5 Subculture sections, Chapter 3 Diversit­­y section, and Chapter 7 discussion of gender seg- mentation and gender-neutral marketing. Content marketing and marketing communications: The nineteenth edition continues to track fast-changing developments in marketing communications and the creation of brand content. Marketers no longer simply create advertising and integrated marketing    15 A01_KOTL9364_19_GE_FM.indd 15 06/03/23 3:40 PM 16   PREFACE 17 communications programs; they join with cus- tomers and media to curate and share market- ing content in paid, owned, earned, and shared Digital Marketing media.
