The top 10 “Top 10” lists of 2010 predictions

December 31st, 2009 by Sharon Harper

Predict (v): to declare or indicate in advance; especially: foretell on the basis of observation, experience, or scientific reason.

In anticipation of the New Year, I began making mental notes over the past month about predictions I had for the marketing world in 2010. But chances are that many already have the same ideas as me. So rather than list a host of these, I decided instead to create a compilation of 10 articles and posts—each with its own “top 10” list of 2010 predictions around a particular marketing-related topic.

In other words, I’ve subtly outfitted this post with nearly 100 projections for 2010! Here they are in no particular order (with the exception of the first, of course). Drum roll, please!

1. Public relations
2. Social media (generic)
3. Social media (specific)
4. Online marketing
5. Digital marketing
6. Web design
7. Wireless
8. News media (minus 2)
9. Personal branding
10. Tech terms (out with the old)

Do any of these predictions resonate with you? If not, I’d love to hear yours.

Before we say adieu to 2009, I leave you with a humorous Huffington Post piece on this year’s top 10 PR blunders. (Note: #1 may be a sensitive topic in this joint). Best wishes in the New Year!
