Google was 25 years old on 4/9/23. It turned marketing upside down when it launched in ways we couldn’t have predicted and were definitely too slow to realise at its launch. Many big businesses, worth millions or billions, owe their success to Google as its given them a forecastable and scalable way to grow as a low cost customer acquisition engine.
