Any planner that doesn't look broader than consumption habits is a sham and should be shot on sight. Sorry, but this thing gets right on my nerves.

I think being ultra-informed, as you put it, (whether you're a planner or have a different role in the creative/communication industry) helps massively in reducing the uncertainty-driven fear that is currently fueling the CGC hype.

In principle, I completely agree (it’s a typical ad agency thing to say). But I don't think there is a single consumer out there who honestly believes that marketer out there would regard them as anything but a consumer; someone who has a wallet and is willing to buy stuff. And I like to keep it real. That being said, I wouldn’t recommend the term ‘consumer’ be used in communication that talks directly to him/her. And No…don’t worry, you did not come across as preachy.
