Non-Obvious

The first edition of the Trend Report first introduced the idea of “Likeonomics” – which Rohit later developed into the concept for his second full length book. Aside from this idea, the report was one of the first to predict the rise in importance of content curation as a way of organizing the growing ranks of information online. The report also explored the rapid growth of real time customer service through social media and the increasing number of marketing campaigns featuring employees as heroes (ie – “I’m an IBM’er) as well as using “Brutal Transparency” like Domino’s and Southwest Airlines.
