We Have A Big Fat Platform Problem

Fake news is such an innocent term. The fact that it masks what it really is—propaganda—seems to get lost in the equation. Nevertheless, what does “fake news” actually look like? It looks like this: Sadly, fake news, a.k.a. propaganda is not innocent, nor does it exist in a bubble. According to Bloomberg, Russian meddling is […]

Strong Brew Needed In the Time of Trump

We live in a nation divided. Today, no company is safe from a presidential reprimand or widespread outrage and backlash, including damaging boycotts (well deserved, or not). In my estimation, brands must stand for something now more than ever. What’s always been true about differentiating on product attributes is now also true about the community […]

Lundergan Grimes Chases McConnell Down The Stretch In Kentucky

It is hard to look away from the tight horse race for Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat. Pundits call the challenger, Alison Lundergan Grimes, 35, a long shot. If she’s such a long shot, why does the incumbent Senator need to appeal to Kentucky women with this charade of an ad? Perhaps, a new Courier-Journal/Survey USA […]
