I am doing a project on what the future marketing world could look like. Do you have any ideas? Any marketing techniques that may continue in the future? Ones that will be obsolete? Or new ones that will be created?

It depends on the field you choose and also it's a matter of time. Right now you can get offers like buy 2 get 1 free but one can't tell what future will bring. There may be offer like buy 1 get 2 free or 50% VAT.

Wow, that is the question of the day, since I am in marketing and have had to adjust to the changing environment. Yes, marketing is changing. The old package was the 'blow-horn' method. Take your message to the streets, drop off brochures, meet with clients, do cold calls and announce your product/service to your specific customers regularly. Although this still works, the term marketing, now, includes so much more. The new way to market is the old 'blow-horn' method but also inbound marketing where the growth is. This includes driving people to you as well as you going to them. Social media, upgraded websites, call to actions and many other ways exist to pull people to you. Analytic's of why people come to you becomes very important to help drive them down the funnel to sells. That is the reason we are in business, sells. Whole companies have formed to address the new way to market but I believe it is only one piece of the marketing puzzles, we still need the old way as well. Have you noticed the change in TV advertising by recording your programs, you can scan through the ads now, never looking at them. If you want to get a crystal ball into the future of advertising and marketing, look at your local TV stations and what they are doing to solve this issue.What will their future be? Take a look at some progressive website marketing referenced below. Look at their call to actions.
