Abstract
In their essays published in the Silver Anniversary Issue (SAI) of the Journal of Macromarketing (2006), George Fisk and Mark
Peterson independently outlined the current state of the discipline and made a list of visionary recommendations that would help
macromarketers adapt and respond to the changing markets, marketing, and societies. These recommendations ranged from
repositioning the discipline around the ideas of societal development to leading the way across disciplines toward achieving a
sustainable world. Based on a thorough content analysis of the articles published in the Journal of Macromarketing since the SAI, we
aim to report the extent to which macromarketing scholarship has responded to the recommendations of Fisk and Peterson.
Utilizing the findings, we make a list of new recommendations that can assist macromarketers in fulfilling their mission of ‘saving
the world’.
