THE FUTURE STARTS HERE ISSUE

JANUARY 2020

OK, so it’s not entirely lost on us that there is some irony that as we step into 2020, a year that many people think sounds a bit sci-fi, that we’ve picked a classic album by The Doors to inspire the title of this issue. After all, the tracks from this album hit the charts before almost all of our contributors were born. But who can deny that many of the tracks on The Future Starts Here are classics?

Anyway, aside from its classic stature we’ve plucked it from the dusty corner of the record box as the title sums up the mood of the issue, as our Rockstar CMO’s and contributors cast their eyes to what 2020 and beyond will mean for marketing.

So, welcome to The Future Starts Here Issue.

Enjoy!
