Philip Kotler is one of the world’s Leading Marketing Thinkers and his contribution to Modern marketing Science is worthy and highly valuable.

 His  definition of marketing is “Finding needs and filling them profitably.”

His study was concentrated on the distribution institutions (wholesalers, retailers, agents, jobbers, etc.) and promotional tools (advertising, sales promotion, and sales force).

He believed that Consumers are worried about the future and their ability to keep their job and hopefully earn a good and growing income-which has a direct impact on marketing.

The major  stress identified was today companies face practical difficulties to cop-up to grow in a low growth market.

His forecast include the changes to occur in the coming period:

1. Companies will increasingly invite customers to co-create products with the company.

2. Companies will increasingly resort to crowd sourcing to get ideas for new products, new advertising campaigns, and new sales promotion ideas.

3. Companies will increasingly move to marketing automation where they use artificial intelligence to carry out marketing activities that were formerly done by skilled marketers.

4. Companies will increasingly learn how to produce “love marks” with their customers and employees.
