They need to adapt to their business, and its product and strategy. - A company's goals and values should be a part of the way it operates and manages products. - Marketing needs to be focused on the full customer life-cycle and not just on acquisition. - "I think as a marketer, our job has always been to create content that is useful and delightful to the audience, and then scale it." - Dave King
