Evolution

There’s a lot of plannery chatter on agile planning and how brands should be more reactive, take part of the conversation etc so I won’t add to that. I just want to share a quick timeline observation on the fascinating evolution of brands comms and their responses to the live (social) web. 2008 Tiger walks [...]
