Banking and finance impacts almost every aspect of our lives, even if we don't realize it. Our jobs, salaries, and mortgages are all heavily impacted by the overall state of the economy, which is in turn impacted by a few major commercial and central banks.
For marketers, understanding the financial world is useful when we're outlining our marketing efforts. It allows us to understand what our target market's situation is financially, and allows us to better address their needs in relation to that.
