We can thank Oreo’s Dunk the the Dark stunt and the growth of Big Data for the rise in prominence of real-time marketing. Of course, the onslaught of real-time social data that comes with real-time marketing means that, as marketers, we now live in a world of “presentism” where everything is real-time, always-on, pervasive, and constant.
