I think over the next few years, marketing will be a science.

Fields like behaioral psychology (isn't it spelled 'behavioural' ?), behavioural economics, neuroeconomics, etc, will increasingly dictate how businesses market to consumers. FMRI machines cost less and schools / companies can now do their own research on non-medical things.
