“Real time” means news breaks over minutes, not days. It means ideas percolate, then suddenly and unpredictably go viral to global audience. It’s when companies develop (or refine) products or services instantly, based on feedback from customers or events in the market place. And it’s when businesses see an opportunity and are the first to act on it. Real-Time Marketing and PR: How to Instantly Engage Your Market (affiliate link) written by David Meerman Scott.

I met David earlier this year at #eme2011 in Stockholm and I had the chance to ask him some questions in a short video interview. His speech was very interesting he talked about e-mail marketing and how the real time communication forces businesses to shift their marketing mindset, and think outside the box and not be afraid to do so. If you have chance to attend one of his speeches don’t hesitate because you will learn a lot of important stuff about marketing, and you will love Davids inspiring personality.
