Key points of the speech:

• Passive consumption is dying a slow death. Participation is the future.
• We don’t want to watch and listen. We want to co-create.
• We have 3 basic needs: competence, autonomy, relatable.
• We want to feel important, in control, and part of something bigger than ourselves.

The bottom line? The future of business (and especially that of marketing) is participatory.
