  • Mastercard CMO Raja Rajamannar on marketing’s ‘fifth paradigm’

    In Quantum Marketing, Mastercard’s CMO, Raja Rajamannar describes the four historical paradigms of marketing and contends that the industry is now hurtling into its ‘fifth paradigm’ – a brave, revolutionary age where practitioners need to prioritise new technologies, plus a broad command of PR, data and finance, in order to navigate a business world changing with unprecedented speed.
