The global economy coming back - doesn't mean that everyone comes back with the global economy. The United States has been growing massively in the last 50 years, but the middle-class has been eroding. Even as employment levels go up, and wages start to return, an awful lot of people lost their jobs in the pandemic. So, what are we going to do to help those who have been left behind? #QuickTake for GZERO Media : https://lnkd.in/d4d3B8Y …see more

The easiest thing big companies could do to start competing with startups would be to destroy legacy software and embrace new. Think Google Docs, Slack, Hangouts, Expensify, NOT Lotus Notes, endless servers, MediaOcean, SharePoint etc.

Earned media wins out once again.🙌🏽 Here’s what one of the top brands has to say... “Once upon a time, you needed a strong competitive claim, proven :30 second TV spot, and a traditional media plan.
