SEATTLE - Metia Group, a global B2B marketing agency, leveraging technology to help clients build deep customer relationships, today announced the release of the company’s annual Marketing Insights Report, revealing 11 key trends expected to drive marketing programs across the globe. 
 
The new report offers insights into social media, big data, analytics, content strategy, design trends, marketing in Asia and advancements in technology. Some of the key findings include:

Global events like the Winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup will drive a spike in global backdrops and a celebration of diversity in styles, tones and patterns.
Rather than invest in a variety of devices, each of which performs a specific set of tasks, people will be the devices.
