Understand the differences

Traditional vs non-traditional marketing

  • What is traditional marketing?

    Traditional marketing refers to the process of fulfilling the target audience's needs using offline channels and making a profit. It encompasses marketing methods focusing on the classic 4 Ps of marketing (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).

  • What is holistic marketing?

    Holistic marketing represents an integrated approach that considers all aspects of a business and its marketing efforts, focusing on the overall experience and value provided to customers. The goal is to create a cohesive and consistent brand presence across all touchpoints.

  • What is regenerative marketing?

    Regenerative marketing goes beyond sustainability by actively working to restore and improve the environment through marketing practices. It focuses on leaving a net-positive impact on the environment, society, and economy—essentially "giving back more than you take."

  • What is transformative marketing?

    Transformative marketing refers to how marketing practices adapt over time to new technologies and consumer demands. First coined by Philip Kotler in the 1960s, it represents a shift from traditional marketing to a more customer-centric and technology-driven approach that creates value for both businesses and consumers.

Marketing is about guiding the flow of information into the world.

It is both an art and a science. Effective marketing requires a balance of both disciplines. The scientific aspect provides direction through data-driven insights, while the artistic side adds impact through creativity and emotional engagement.
