You should check out Forrester analyst Lisa Bradner's post today over at our Marketing Leadership Blog.

CPS pros should take away the point that marketers and consumer product teams (which might have marketers of their own, or not) need to coordinate their efforts in lockstep to make sure the brand and the organization are prepared for instant feedback from consumers. Because, right now, most organizations are ill-equipped to handle this new world of "always-on" marketing.
