1) More different outlets for brand communications and advertising. Nothing will go away – look at print and radio – but there will be more ways to attempt to reach and connect with consumers. Creatively, this is hugely exciting as the means of production and distribution have never been more democratic; while from a business point of view, it requires one to be more focused and nimble than ever.
2) To look at the change that’s happening around us as an opportunity. Not to get bogged down in the way “things should be”, but to look at the way things are and what they are changing into.
3) Being very focused on your own company’s brand message, work and really digging in to understand its DNA. And then communicating that to your clients and potential clients in a clear and effective way. Don’t assume that because you know the story or that there was some press on it, that everyone knows. We are all living in a sea of communications and no one can take everything in.

Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer on "Rust," was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.
The case-ending evidence was ammunition that was brought into the sheriff's office in March by a man who said it could be related to Hutchins' killing. Prosecutors said they deemed the ammunition unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers alleged that they "buried" it and filed a successful motion to dismiss the case.
In her decision to dismiss the Baldwin case, Marlowe Sommer described "egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct" by law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as false testimony about physical evidence by a witness during the trial.
Defense counsel says that prosecutors tried to establish a link... Read More
