Also, data-driven, predictive, contextual, augmented and agile marketing approaches as components of Marketing 5.0 are new marketing trends that increase the performance of brands and their competitiveness in the market. These new technology-enabled marketing trends include augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), chatbots and digital assistants, influencer marketing, video marketing, location-based marketing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and content marketing.
