World Marketing Summit 2013 - A Global Meet

A rather major global event occurred a couple of weeks back, aptly named the World Marketing Summit 2013 as delegates worldwide congregate at Putrajaya for a common purpose. With a tagline that reads "Creating A Better World Through Marketing", it's the brainchild of leading marketing guru Professor Philip Kotler, aiming to elevate marketing from the ranks of a corporate business tool to one that can also deliver meaningful social, environmental and economic impact.
