Throw your old inbound marketer’s playbook out the window. Social is walled in, Google organic is staying on the SERP, influencers don’t deliver and web advertising trending to zero.

Rand talks about internet marketing, including social, influencers and no-click SERPs – all dressed up as the Four Horsemen.
