What is Macro-Marketing? 

Macro marketing is the perspective of marketing as a societal system of resource allocation,. In other words, it's a way of thinking about marketing as a driver of the economy.

Micro-marketing, commonly known as firm-level marketing, concerns all the functions that happen within a business related to marketing whether that's developing products, selling products, distributing products, etc.
