Marketing is both a set of activities performed by organisations and a social process. In other words, marketing exists at both the micro and the macro levels. At a micro-level, marketing is the performance of activities that seek to accomplish an organisation's objectives by anticipating customer or client needs and directing a flow of need-satisfying goods and services from provider to consumer or client. On the other hand macro-marketing is a social process that directs an economy's flow of goods and services from producers to consumers in a way that effectively matches supply and demand and accomplishes the objectives of society.
