Kotler’s 4 Big Ideas

2. Focus on Your Customer’s Needs
3. Marketing as a Process of Exchange and Communication
4. Five Product Levels

Kotler had a public spat with his contemporary marketing guru, Theodore Levitt – https://youtu.be/J_B42lvxuEc.
Levitt believed that corporations should standardize their products globally, and build global brand messages and marketing campaigns.
Kotler saw the value of this but argued that corporations must embrace cultural and other local differences. He advocates a mixture of global and local marketing that has become known as ‘glocal’.
