I think it means knowing how to use technology effectively.
Exactly! It's about not just using technology but understanding its implications, especially for marketing. Why do you think this is crucial now?
Because there are so many new tools and platforms, and if marketers don't understand them, they'll fall behind.

This helps us remember that staying updated fuels creativity. Can anyone share examples of what technologies marketers need to be literate in?
