  1. Lovely post. Trend #6 can be stronger than ever as other countries will be likely to follow Obama’s strategy to get to online environment. We can say the social media will change the political marketing as we’ve never seen before. Online strategy will be used - and developed - from the US to Australia, from Vladvostok to Santiago de Chile, passing through Rwanda and Middle East as well.
