On the agenda for today: About 8 hours of strategery, meetings and real work, fueled by coffee, the occasional chocolat chaud, and maybe even a few croissants.
Some suggested reading while I get some work done today:
Dean Donaldson’s piece on building strong brands in an economic downturn
Chris Brogan’s thoughts on cafe-shaped conversations
Hajj Flemings’ bit on passion and identity
Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek’s article on why entrepreneurs love an economic downturn
BEL’s piece on the contextual disconnect between traditional advertisers and social media channels
Mark True’s post on brands who go off-track with their messaging and tactics
Welcome to a whole new week!
