Against this backdrop, this book offers modern marketers and technologists a guide on navigating the many changes occurring in organizations. Any senior executive can leverage many of the concepts presented in this book and be able to handle the sweeping changes taking place in the age of AI. This book introduces a new framework with six pillars of modern marketing strategy in the age of hyper-digitalization - purpose, phygital experiences, platform, participation, personalization, and partnerships.

The chapters also demonstrate how each pillar can influence key outcomes like attention and engagement. In the context of hyper-digitalization and AI, the six-pillar framework will help managers navigate current developments and implement changes that any enterprise is faced with.
