This document discusses the transformation from outbound to inbound marketing that occurred in 2013. It defines inbound marketing as relying on earning people's interest rather than buying it, using tactics like SEO, blogging, social media, and targeted landing pages. Inbound marketing has higher response rates and lower costs than outbound marketing approaches. The key is shifting to a mindset of building relationships rather than just telling and selling. Companies need to focus on spreading as a brand on social media to help people and build value in order to get identified as a brand and higher conversions. The year 2013 was about transforming from good to great by sharing content that people want rather than shouting, and getting found rather than making people find you.
