To succeed today, marketing must be:
* Strategically responsible - to save time, money and improve focus
* Execution responsible - with best practices instead of best efforts
* Message responsible - to respect all your audiences
* Casting responsible - so your have the right people in the right roles, internally and externally
* ROI responsible - because your efforts must impact the bottom line
* Environmentally responsible - since our world needs us to be
* Socially responsible - because marketing is more than moving product
Responsible Marketing is a holistic approach to marketing that combines the tactics our mind tells us we need to prioritize with the principles our heart tells us we need to embrace.

I attended a recent discussion of a new book called OBD: Obsessive Branding Disorder by Lucas Conley which details in a very intersting way the rise of almost surgical treatment of brands, not as innovation, but as a focus on almost just changing the packaging itself to keep he attention of the customer.
